Join Alia and the crew of the Turshen as they set out on an adventure across the digital void! There'll be self discovery, cuddles, the rumbling of point defense cannons, the howl of escaping atmosphere, and eldritch horrors from an entirely different dimension! <<less

In 2036, an eccentric billionaire funded humanity’s first trip to Mars as an ego project. That expedition made the most significant discovery in human history: proof of extraterrestrial life. The ancient alien outpost they found catapulted humanity’s knowledge of faster-than-light travel, genetic engineering, and planetary colonization forward by centuries.... more>>

Almost a century later, humanity has shown that despite their use of advanced technology, some things haven’t changed. Greed and xenophobia still run rampant amongst the stars, and wars are common between humanity’s dozens of extrasolar colonies.

Kayden is a recently discharged military pilot, just trying to make his way in the big universe. Fortunately for him, he’s about to stumble upon humanity’s next great discovery – one that could have an even more profound impact on the course of human history than finding the Mars outpost.

Megacles has a pretty good life. Also, she is horny, lonely, bored, anxious, and a bit of a drunk. She decides to fix all this with science. It works okay, until she accidentally builds a doomsday device. At least she’s not bored anymore.

Ryan was walking home from work after a long day of work when he got hit by a truck and killed. Instead of finding himself in the afterlife, he wakes up in the black abyss of space as a spaceship.

This is a rewrite of Starship Reincarnator, with hopefully more likable characters. <<less

Humanity was close to conquering the Galaxy at the peak of its power. All the other species were either absorbed into the fold, becoming citizens of the Hegemony of Men or were pushed towards the edges of yet-to-be-explored parts of the Milky Way. But everything has its end... and the end for Humanity came way too suddenly. Nobody knows, not even today, what caused the collapse more than 5,000 years ago, but one thing is certain: No humans have ever been sighted again since then. The Galaxy was changed once more, giving birth to new empires, climbing up on the ruins, left behind their hated foes, the ones who previously conquered them.... more>>

Today, those who call themselves the descendants of Humanity, those who carry their genes, a result of their previous interbreeding of species, are ostracised, hunted, and persecuted by the rest of the Galaxy. Sylen belongs to such a branch of "humans," carrying genes from his ancestors and from another species. A mix. A hybrid. A mutant. She traveled with her grandfather, salvaging, searching for old tech from a bygone era, and trying to get by. They were just sailing back home after a successful find when another life-changing event happened right before them; The rediscovering of a living, breathing human out in the emptiness of space!

Maybe the answers to what happened back then are just around the corner, or maybe it should have been left unanswered all along. <<less

Akari, a young Japanese woman, suddenly finds herself in an unexpected, deadly situation when returning home from the airport. She has to decide quickly...run away or trust a complete stranger to find safety.... more>>

After accepting the offer, she quickly learns that "safety" isn't here on Earth...but on a huge spaceship near Mars. There she learns that her experience gained from playing flight simulator games, suddenly appears to be surprisingly helpful.

While slowly changing into another lifeform, Akari must find a way to keep up hope and fight against impossible odds. She chooses to fight at the side of the Vahli and puts her human morals aside to find a way to end their enemy's existence once and for all.

A series of events is set into motion that will not only determine her own fate and the fate of two warring worlds.....but the fate of humanity as well.

When she finally returns back to Earth, she quickly learns that her beloved planet is already being invaded.

Join Akari on her adventures in becoming the most unconventional Queen in Vahli history.

THIS IS A FANFIC created by a VERY UNSATISFIED READER unable to accept
how the First Arc Ended *cries*( ╥ᆺ╥；)

READ THE ORIGINAL FIRST BEFORE READING THIS!!! <<less

A man finds himself alone at the end of a long journey. Just what is he thinking while looking at the horizon?

On the frontiers of transhumanity’s expansion into the galaxy thousands of light years from the light of Sol, things can get rather chaotic. There are countless millions of nascent interstellar nations securing their interests, pirate ships prospering off plunder and deniable mercenary work, dissidents setting up their own civilizations, and other groups all trying to push an agenda. When these groups crash into each other, the results can become extremely messy and convoluted.... more>>

Recently, a frontier nation calling itself the Red Star Union has found itself at the focal point of one such complication. A freighter under their protection has been sabotaged, hijacked in interstellar space, and robbed of its cargo. This would be bad enough even if all it were carrying was luxury goods, but the freighter Nebula Plow was carrying more than just normal trade goods. Indeed, her cargo of Non-Orientable Wormholes for use in starship power plants was both very expensive and very, very dangerous.

Now the Red Star Union has to worry about a pirate crew running around with several extra devices capable of converting matter into antimatter with negligible energy cost. With those, the pirates could be capable of inflicting untold damage if allowed to leverage their ill-gotten gains into a stronger position, a possibility the Union finds completely intolerable. Unfortunately, all that the Red Star Union has to go on for evidence is two names; that of the captain, and that of the ship. The Captain is going by the possible pseudonym of Fuller, while the ship is named Bark’s Finest.

And thus the orders came down to the Union’s Bureau of Starforce Intelligence: find more information on these pirates, conclusively identify them, and figure out where exactly they’ve gone to ground so that the fleet can crush them before they get established. Of the many agents that the bureau assigned to this mission, one would happen to play an important role: Field Agent Madeline Zargosty.

This is her story.

'The UnderCurrent Incident' of 2022 gave humanity it's first glance at alien life, although not in an expected way.
It allowed for a VR-like vision into the lives of an entire race of people separate to our own. This novel serialises their story, the story of 5 ordinary pilots partaking in an interplanetary war of galactic proportions.
With no way of knowing if this glimpse into a foreign society is an alternate reality or some distant planet in our own universe, it would only take so long for the public to demand a guided tour - Now you hold that very thing in your hands, with exclusive access to the project and transcripts from the original experiment's team. You will learn of the lives to which UnderCurrent affords us a view into.
Of the Battleship Fluchtig's soldiers, of a conflict that spans far more then any of them know and of their hunt for a 'Dangerous Submarine'.

Now on Royal Road and coming to Scribblehub!
This is my own original work, with obvious inspirations from the likes of Gundam, Dune, 1984, Evangellion, Grimgar and anime in general.
All ideas and concepts shown are my own, though I do Parody some things.
A fair amount of research has gone into many of the topics in this book, but I am by no means an expert in any.

I'd love to share some of the research I've come across on mecha, living in Space, and amputees. Amputees in particular is a worthy topic we should all be more educated on - You may find this video link a brief intro into that world; https://youtu.be/piiFI8QafHs

There is a degree of deconstructionism towards the mecha genre involved with an onus on taking a more practical look at the features of that mode of storytelling, giving actually worldbuilding explanations for some of the fantastical equipment involved and using the likes of military structure and resource management in conjunction with the story, but hopefully this is something anyone can enjoy with no prior knowledge of the genre traditions.

Thanks for reading! <<less

Is she serving her country? Or is she just a pawn in a great game?

Orivar is a web novel series set in the distant future. Humanity has all but mastered the exotic material known as omnium, the most common of which is called orivar: the original variety. That clear crystal is a transmuter of mass and energy, and the very existence of contemporary Civilized Space depends on it.

Deep Black, the first book in the series, begins a classic story of light versus darkness. A novel variety of omnium–one with the potential of sending Civilized Space crashing down–is stolen from a research station just beyond the Federation border. Atara Korrell, a retired Navy captain, is called to command the fastest starship ever made to chase the thieves and retrieve the stolen sample. Meanwhile, enemies both near and far vie for the omnium sample and the advanced technology powering her ship. Can Atara remain loyal in the face of seeming betrayal?

Caleb knew his life was weird. There were only so many times you could spend a space-journey immersed in a fictional game world before you just knew your life to be weird. But an astrogator only needs to do so much. Calculate a few numbers, and then be on-call in case of any undetected small object that was going to collide with the ship. Even so, few people had the intuition for the calculations, and few people could entertain themselves for the multi-year journeys that dominated space-travel, even with all the entertainment options available on a space-ship specially equipped to draw an astrogator's attention. So, Caleb had a very reliable job, and if his life... more>> was weird, well... people still paid him for it.

This is not a high-stakes adventure. It is someone figuring out what their life can be like, in a future not so far away. They just so happen to do it through a video game set in another future, somewhat farther away. <<less
