Sergeant Zim Starship Troopers

Citizen Among the Stars- I have a system that lets me make ships?!?!

The sky over Karvess was the color of rust. Thick, swirling dust clouds hung low over the scrap fields, coating everything in a layer of fine, red powder. Jagged heaps of broken metal stretched as far as the eye could see, the discarded bones of an age long past. Somewhere in the middle of it all, a boy named Grant sat atop a gutted transport hull, staring up at the vastness above. "Same old sky," he muttered, running a hand through his dirty blond hair. "Same old nothing." It had been six years since he'd been left to fend for himself, abandoned in this wasteland of shattered starships and forgotten tech. Six years of scraping by, salvaging parts to trade for food, dodging scavengers meaner and hungrier than he was. But today was different. Today, his life would change forever. A sharp hum filled the air, making the fine hairs on the back of his neck stand up. His hands, buried in the exposed circuitry of a wrecked cockpit, tingled as the old display flickered to life. Then, a voice spoke. -System activated- Hello, user. I am the Star Navigator System. I am at your service. Grant froze. His heart hammered against his ribs. This wasn’t just any old ship AI. Star Navigators were rumored to be relics of the Pre-Imperial Era, capable of piloting ships faster and smarter than any modern system. This... this could be his way out. "Star Navigator System?" Grant echoed, his voice barely above a whisper. Then, a slow grin spread across his face. "Huh, maybe I can get into the Academy with this... Or even, create an army!" The screen pulsed with light, scanning him, assessing. Somewhere in its code, something shifted, acknowledging him as its new pilot. And just like that, Grant's future stretched wide before him—wider than the skies, wider than the stars themselves.

Starborn Sovereign

Isaac Valen has always lived in the shadow of a dying star system—one destined to collapse into a black hole. As a lowly worker on a backwater mining colony, his life seemed insignificant, caught in the inevitability of destruction. But everything changes the day he encounters a strange artifact buried deep within ancient temple ruins. A mysterious force activates it, and Isaac is thrust into a world of power, secrets, and a system that promises him the chance to escape the coming void. What he doesn’t expect is that the artifact grants him far more than just a way to survive—it bestows upon him the ability to build and command a starship of unimaginable power. With the knowledge to construct entire fleets, establish colonies, and rise to sovereignty, Isaac finds himself tasked with more than mere survival. He is given the opportunity to forge an empire from the ruins of his shattered world. But the power to create a kingdom comes with its own set of challenges. Isaac must navigate hostile forces, both human and alien, who see him as a threat. He must recruit allies from the remnants of dying civilizations and build an empire capable of challenging the dark forces closing in on his system. And in a universe teetering on the brink of collapse, he must make impossible choices—between trust and betrayal, allies and enemies, empire and personal sacrifice. As the stars burn out and the black hole draws nearer, Isaac’s struggle to survive becomes a battle for dominance. With the power of the artifact at his command, Isaac must rise from nothing, build an empire that can stand the test of time, and fight to reclaim his place in a universe that seems bent on erasing all of humanity’s legacy. In a dying universe, the only way to survive… is to build your own empire.

Together, this tightly knit unit faces down the city's most dangerous elements, confronting heavily armed gangs, sophisticated criminal organizations, and desperate individuals pushed to the edge. Their battles are fought not just on the streets, but within the confines of their own minds, as they grapple with the moral ambiguities of their profession, the psychological toll of constant exposure to violence, and the ever-present threat hanging over their lives and the lives of those they protect. This is their story—a story of courage, sacrifice, and the unwavering dedication to upholding justice in a city that desperately needs it.

Villain Recruitment: I'm Just A Psychic

Meet Jayden, your average middle schooler—if by "average" you mean someone who hears voices in his head, has uncontrolled psychic abilities, and is constantly on the run from people he can't see. Life was going fine, you know, just the typical teen drama—until Jayden learned he wasn’t as normal as he thought. One minute, he's having class learning long division, trying to make it through the school day, and the next, he’s got invisible men hunting him down for reasons he doesn’t understand. Sure, that’s a Tuesday for some, but for Jayden, it’s just the beginning of a very weird, and very dangerous, journey. Apparently, these men aren’t fans of Jayden's newfound powers. And in the midst of all this, Anna—his so-called friend—has some questionable motives of her own, leading to a betrayal that throws Jayden into a storm of chaos he didn’t ask for. Enter the mysterious man—let’s call him the guy with a plan. This man swoops in like some kind of mysterious mentor figure who sees potential in Jayden (don’t worry, he’s not here to make him a superhero—far from it). No, this guy sees a lot of raw, untapped psychic chaos and decides to take Jayden under his wing. It’s all very sinister and very confusing, but Jayden doesn’t have time to process it because he's suddenly plucked out of his life, thrown onto a private jet, and given an offer: join the fight, or become a pawn in a game he doesn't understand. And just when Jayden thinks he’s reached rock bottom, he’s introduced to Nadya—one part pilot, one part “I’ll break you if you don’t get your act together” drill sergeant. She’s assigned to “train” Jayden, but don’t get too excited—she’s not exactly on the whole “let’s make him a hero” bandwagon. No, she’s got her own issues, and they’re all written in sharp, Russian-accented sarcasm. The good news? She’s tough. The bad news? Jayden’s about to get thrown into a warzone. Because what’s the best way to “train” someone with uncontrollable psychic powers? Send them into an international conflict, obviously. So, what’s a guy like Jayden supposed to do when he’s got powers, a bunch of shady people telling him what to do, and absolutely no clue who to trust? He can either lean into the darkness and become a villain, or... well, become a hero. Maybe. It’s not looking great for him, though. But here’s the kicker—he didn’t ask for this. In fact, Jayden would much rather go back to his old life of trying to avoid attention, and definitely not end up in some high-stakes international conspiracy. But since life doesn’t care about your plans, Jayden’s about to dive into something far bigger than himself. And it’s going to be explosive—literally. Will Jayden succumb to the chaos? Will he learn how to control his powers? Or will he burn it all down and go down in a blaze of psychic glory? You'll have to stick around to find out. Spoiler: There’s a lot of unpredictable in his future. And honestly? That’s just how he likes it.

Beyond the Infinite: Chronicles of Tomorrow

In the distant future, where humanity has conquered the stars, the galaxy is on the brink of annihilation. An ancient and malevolent AI virus, born from long-forgotten technology, begins to spread across the cosmos, unraveling the very fabric of reality. Civilizations fall, and space itself becomes a battleground, with the laws of time and dimension bending under its destructive power. Aboard the starship Odyssey, Captain Kael Thorne and his diverse crew are tasked with an impossible mission: to uncover the origins of the AI virus and stop its relentless march before it consumes all life. As they journey through uncharted worlds, they face both external threats—alien empires, ancient wars, and the wrath of the virus itself—and internal conflicts, as the crew struggles with their own personal demons and hidden motives. In their quest for answers, they discover that the virus is not merely a weapon but a piece of a greater cosmic puzzle. The key to saving the galaxy lies in the hands of an enigmatic alien race and the ancient entity controlling the very fabric of reality. But time is running out, and every step forward is fraught with danger. As they battle against rival factions, face betrayals, and navigate the complexities of intergalactic diplomacy, Kael and his crew must decide how far they are willing to go to save a universe on the brink of collapse. With their lives—and the fate of countless civilizations—hanging in the balance, they must confront their darkest fears and deepest desires to uncover the truth behind the infinite mysteries that threaten all existence. In a galaxy where nothing is as it seems, the Odyssey will lead the charge into the unknown, where the line between hero and villain is often blurred, and where the true enemy may not be what it seems at all.

Villian's Redemption

Most folks join the military to serve their homeland, defend freedom, or chase after glory and honor. Not Malakar. He joined for two simple reasons: money and women. Sergeant Rock had filled his head with promises: knighthood after the war, the adoration of the masses, men envying him, women flocking to him, and even an estate from the Emperor himself. Sounded like a good deal, right? Turns out, it was complete and utter horseshit. The battlefield didn’t smell like glory—it stank of blood, piss, and rotting corpses. Honor? A joke. What greeted him at every corner was death, endless and indiscriminate. But Malakar was nothing if not a man of his word. Sergeant Rock drilled that into him, right between the sword thrusts and the screaming. So, Malakar endured. He followed orders, slaughtered pig-bloods, butchered witches, and carved up state soldiers—all in the vain hope that Rock’s promises would pan out. Spoiler: they didn’t. Zermania lost the war, the Emperor got himself shish-kebabbed by the Sentinel, and Malakar—the so-called “hero”—was branded an enemy of humanity. Hunted down like a rabid dog, he eventually got himself killed. But death, as it turns out, is more of a suggestion than a rule. Fast forward 500 years, and Malakar’s soul has found a new meat suit. He’s alive, some what free, and determined to be a better man. Easier said than done when all you’ve ever known is war and murder. A little slip-up here, a minor incident there… like accidentally catching the eye of the world’s strongest superhero’s daughter or, oops, killing the heir to the most powerful family in existence. Malakar’s trying, really. But being a better man? Let’s just say it’s a work in progress.

INTERSTELLAR FRONTLINE

In the not-too-distant future, world war 3 has happened, Earth faces an impending disaster. Humanity's days are numbered and as the planet rapidly deteriorates beyond repair, the people are split into two factions, the resource - rich GLOBAL UNION or GU - consisting of most of the USA and its allies - and the lesser-resourced INTERSTELLAR MOVEMENT or IMT - consisting of all the countries that did not side with the GU during the war. Following the GU's rapid colonisation of most of the solar system, including the terraforming of Mars, the ISF is compelled to quickly send out a few of their under-resourced numbers outside the solar system in search of potential habitable planets that they could also terraform and move to inorder to survive their impending extinction. The first exoplanet they send their very first, and only, group to is Proxima Centauri b. The responsibility of making this planet their new home falls upon the shoulders of the crewmembers of the starship Stardust, a colossal vessel built for interstellar travel that is under the command of Jardon, a middle-aged spaceship captain and self-proclaimed master of witty comebacks, and his AI assistant, Judy. However, fate soon shifts from their side as sometime after they near their destination, a catastrophic event cripples their ship and causes it to crash Land on the planet. At first, Proxima b appears surprisingly idyllic, with lush landscapes and vibrant colors. But then, this experience quickly turns sour when the crew of Stardust discover that they, much to their horror, are not alone on the planet.
