Five centuries after the human race was imprisoned on its thirteen colony worlds, isolating them from each other and keeping man from travelling the stars, two men discover the massive form of a mostly intact battleship derelict, they set out to return it to working order.

They will need a crew. They will need to repair the ship. They will need to decide where to go. They will need to learn to use the weapons on the ship to defend themselves if the aliens show up again to keep man from travelling the stars.All Rights Reserved

The Very Splendid Mary Clendennin by j_david_clarke

A lonely man in a dead end job takes a vacation to a pleasure world paradise currently empty of everyone except its android hosts. Expecting to be alone, he instead meets a very friendly, outgoing woman of inescapable charms, who seems perfectly suited to him, but who also seems to terrify the android staff.

The Abyss of Time by IanReeve216

Twenty years after the end of the Cyborg War, the last cyborgs try to hijack a starship on its way to terraform an alien world. They want the new colony to be a cyborg colony in which they will rebuild their strength and practice their way of life. During the fighting, though, the starship is damaged, so that instead of travelling light years across space it ends up a billion years in the future, alongside a planet Earth that is near the end of its life. The cyborgs, momentarily defeated, leave the ship in a captured landing craft and go down to the planet, but before they go they sabotage the ship so that it is no longer able to support life. The crew have no choice but to follow them down to the planet where they have to fight not just the cyborgs but also forms of life a billion years more evolved than humans. Creatures that have grown tough and hardy in an attempt to cope with the increasingly harsh conditions that prevail there. As if things weren't bad enough, there is conflict among the ship's crew as they fight to decide which of them will be in charge and how they will meet the challenges facing them, and even if they survive all this they will still have to deal with the discovery of the ultimate fate that awaits all intelligent life in the universe...

Time flies by when you're sleeping by DarkValkyrie6

A massive alien ship and a human in a small pod, in cryogenic sleep, thousands of light-years away from earth. What could go wrong and how will he get back to earth? -------------------------------------- Notes: I felt tired one day and thought that I could use a long nap. This story is a result of that thought. I didn't use any movies or series for inspiration, the story is my original work. This is just the result of my weird imagination and brain thinking about what that character would do and telling me what to write. I hope you like it :) It's just a story, like all of my other stores. It doesn't have a deeper spiritual, moral or ethical meaning.

The Milky Way Saga: Cities to Embers (Book 1 of 3) by AustinDouglasFord

Now, it is up to Vice Admiral Isaac Free to save humanity, and all that it represents. Can Issac rescue humanity in it's darkest hour? Or has humanity already fallen?" Twists and turns make this story great, and worth reading!

~ Sanctuary ~ by SageNa1se0

The Con Man is a horrible man who constructs these cyborgs with human minds and hearts. He keeps them locked away in Sanctuary, where they're plagued by these airborne diseases that he has no control over, and these cyborgs make a community of them, the more he makes of them. The Hunters are among the creations, have had enough spending time in containment, in solitude, and in nearly painful struggles of survival. It's time for their escape. Their freedom. And it's time for them to resume their freedom as living, breathing things. Because that's the life they deserve.

ARCHIVE-XC9: TERRA by Wynd105

For centuries, humanity believed itself to be alone in the universe. The stars were distant, silent, and indifferent-until the silence was broken. When a deep-space exploration vessel makes an unprecedented discovery-an unknown civilization with human DNA identical to their own-everything humanity thought they knew about their origins is shattered. As star-faring nations scramble to unravel the mystery, tensions rise, alliances fracture, and the race to uncover the truth begins. But in the depths of the cosmos, beyond the reach of human understanding, something stirs. Ancient ruins whisper of lost empires. Unseen forces bend the very fabric of reality. And lurking in the void, an enemy waits-an anomaly so vast, so consuming, that it threatens to unravel existence itself. As humanity ventures further into the unknown, one question echoes through the corridors of power, the minds of scientists, and the whispers of those who dare to seek the truth: "If we are not alone... then what are we?"

home by GWJ_Books

(Entry for @sciencefiction contest) It has been 20,500 years since we left. It was coming. So we prepared. The space cruiser departed Earth in search of a new hope, a new planet. Of course we failed. Countless worlds were surveyed, but not one could hold human life. So, now we are back. We are home. But this is not the planet we left.
