"Do you know how many soldiers died in the first decade after we mastered interstellar travel? One point five billion."
Earth has had a bloody, disastrous first contact with alien life which they barely managed to survive. Humanity united under a single government, the Sol Confederation, and has spent a century fighting across star systems in a war that appears to have no purpose other than to wipe out humanity.
In 2148, Sergeant Clara Maker is more than halfway through her obligatory two years of service in the military when she becomes involved in a new wave of aggression in the war. She wants nothing more than to finish her duty tour and return to Earth, but whether she wants it or not, a career as a soldier may not be something she can escape. Not with her life intact.
Congress and the Sol Coalition have acknowledged that the war cannot be won without taking drastic measures. To save their species, they must create a new one.
Faster and stronger, bred for war, genetically engineer soldiers have been bred to fight humanity's enemy. The secret research project could give Clara Maker what she desires most - a life without war. Or, it could rip apart the fragile unity Earth developed against a common enemy.

428
They thought survival was the end of the story. It was only the beginning. The sun dies. One million ships. Eight minutes to launch. Only 428 make it out alive. Cassia boards one of them-with her boyfriend, a ragtag group of survivors, and every hope humanity has left. They land on a planet that feels like mercy. It isn't. The trees are too quiet. The stars watch too closely. And when the hunting begins, the rules are simple: Run. Die. Or beg. Cassia begs. She offers anything. The aliens accept. Now the humans are slaves. Her boyfriend's in a cell. And Cassia? She's something else entirely. Because 428 wasn't a glitch. It was a design. And if Cassia wants to save what's left of her species... She'll have to become the very monster they created. The real question isn't how far she'll go- It's what she'll be when she gets there.Complete
TerraSync
A wormhole had appeared near our solar system. From it came a signal - strong, deliberate, and unnerving. It was unlike anything humanity had encountered. Governments around the world watched in alarm. Scientists from every continent raced to decode the message, working day and night. Satellites scanned the sky. Observatories analysed every particle. Entire nations held their breath. Weeks passed in tense anticipation. Finally, the signal was broken. And what it said chilled every soul who read it: "Attack. Attack. Attack..." Panic spread like wildfire across every continent. Governments around the world tightened their armies. Citizens lived in constant fear. In the United States, the government refused to sit idle. They form an alliance with Ryze Corporation to develop a solution - a weapon unlike any before. A biotechnological weapon capable of granting humans chance to against something that they barely understood. The project was classified, secret, and urgent. Scientists worked around the clock. Failures were common, and risks were deadly. Yet, hope persisted. And thus, in the shadow of panic and fear, the TerraSync Project was born - humanity's first true line of defence against a universe that had just declared war.
The Last Ship (18+)
Highest Rank: #1 Alien 6-21-21 WARNING: This contains Xenophile (Alien / Human smut) If you don't find interest then that, this is not the place to be. Thanks! Or Skip the chapter. 18+ ______________________ The year is 3999. Nearly a thousand years after a alien infection was set loose by the intelligent lifeforms know as Irinaut. No one knows exactly how they were able to make such a infection, but it was capable of destroying nearly all life on Earth. Those who couldn't hide or make it to the ships to escape their home planet, were left for the Irinauts. These alien lifeforms were capable of controlling human bodies, infecting them with their black dust, impregnating fertile human female's, and growing the Irinaut's massive companions, the Yeti's, a less evolved version of the Irinaut. Earth is gone. Nothing more then a ball of dust. After the people fled on ships, they traveled to their new hope. It was a place of solitude. The human race was able to flee from the foreign infection, but for how long? Luna was frozen on the ship. For nearly a 200 years, their ship had traveled. Many people had been placed in a cryogenic state. That of which kept them from aging as they made their way out of the infection. For them, a place of safety, The Solar Sun. The Solar Sun space ship was the closest landing unit in the solar system. Many others would have to be traveled to after refueling and preparing for another two or three centuries of being in a cryogenic state. For Luna, the girl hopes that space would be her escape from the aliens that destroyed their Earth, but that was only the beginning. Upon arrival, the ship is found infested. Luna and a small team of scientists had come in hopes for finding a cure for the strange virus, only to find the virus had taken over most of The Solar Sun, following a few escaped Irinauts. The Solar Sun is their last hope, and their last escape from these beings, but what's to be found there will change everything.Complete
