Astro Ships Novels & Stories

The Union was no longer a squatter on an alien world; they were the legitimate stewards of a "Symbiotic Civilization." Audrey sits on the balcony of the High Spire, watching the first "Aethel-Ship" rise from the launch pads. These ships were no longer the heavy, clanking iron buckets that had fled the home world. They were elegant, bronze-wood vessels coated in "Null-Matter" mercury, powered by both steam-pressure and quantum-resonance. They were the children of the Union and the Precursors. "We’re not fleeing this time, Lucas," Audrey whispered, looking at the man whose silver-and-iron arm now rested on her shoulder.

The seed-ships rose on pillars of blue light—gravitic drives that moved through the atmosphere as silently as a sigh. Twelve ships, shaped like silver seeds, drifted upward, their hulls shimmering as they caught the last rays of the sun. They looked like a new constellation being born. I felt Leo’s arm around my waist, pulling me close. "Look," he whispered, pointing upward. The ships reached the upper atmosphere and deployed their solar sails—vast, translucent wings of light-fiber that looked exactly like the petals of a Luna-Bloom. They caught the solar wind and began their long, slow journey toward the outer planets.

And then, on the horizon, a speck appeared, growing larger with each passing moment. As we watched, a magnificent shuttlecraft descended from the sky, its massive form casting a long shadow on the ground. The sleek vessel, designed to seat six with an expansive cargo hold, hovered effortlessly just a foot over the ground. David's eyes sparkled with pride as he declared, "This is Atlantis's own Star fleet, she is one of four, top of the line, and all yours! – my gift to you."

For now, her current goal was to get from her home world of Adryn-VI in a rural corner of Hyperion space and get to Braeccus Alpha. The calm and silence was so prevalent that she dozed off in the chair. In her dreams she sees the vastness of the cosmos, the planets, and the stars, a shape catches her attention. In an asteroid belt, amongst the rocks was a massive ship. It was the most beautiful thing she'd ever seen, hundreds of meters of black sleek armor with large intimidating guns and cannons, and at the back were powerful engines that spewed forth blue light. Just by looking at it, she could picture the rocking of the deck as the guns fired and she could feel the thrum as the engines ro

Sydney huffed in annoyance, "Your sorry doesn't solve anything. Granted, you wanted to put a wedge between us and that worked. But you've moved on and I'm still picking up the pieces as I try to unscramble the mess you made of my mind. Even now, with all my memories, with me knowing everything we once shared, I'm not sure how I should feel about you. You're a complete stranger to me." Her last sentence had a thought coming to mind. I held my hand out, "Then let's start over as complete strangers. My name is Alpha Victor Silva. Alpha of the rogues. Welcome to one of the many sanctuaries I plan on constructing around the world." Sydney narrowed her gaze on my extended hand with apprehension be

Today, that barrier parted. Hovering at the edge of the storm wall was the imperial flagship Vance Aegis, its gargantuan, void-shielded hull glinting in the harsh sunlight of the mesosphere. Trailing behind the main flagship were six streamlined, dark-steel diplomatic frigates—the Eclipse Envoys—their hulls coated in meteor-steel plating and trimmed with the silver frost-coatings of the Northern Keepers.

I smiled hearing his words. "Your a good Alpha, not much would've done what you did or would've been this welcoming towards a rogue like me." I stated. "The Crest moon pack believes in second chances Athena." "I see both little ones are asleep." Alpha Killian touched my sleeping baby boy's hand who's name was Theo. "Yes, I absolutely hate how my bundles of joys tend to sleep for most of the day, I long to play with them while they're awake." I joked, closely watching Killian's expression.

Jack steered the pod past, picking up speed as he went. A huge ship appeared in front of them. Darts came and went. Jack pushed by, dipping underneath away from their turrets. More large ships appeared and finally one of theirs. The little pods looked like grapes on the side of the ship. The ship sent missiles out. Jack pushed the pod faster. He wasn't about to get caught in an explosion.

~Juniper's POV~ The hum of the spaceship's engines was a constant lullaby, vibrating through the sleek metal walls of the Odyssey. I, Juniper Martin, had been a space cadet for three years now, and this solo mission with Mario Russo felt like a dream assignment. Or maybe a nightmare waiting to happen. We were charting a new asteroid belt for the Earth Space Command, our urban inspired habitat pod mimicking a high-rise apartment in New York, complete with holographic windows showing starry vistas and a control station that looked like a futuristic cock-pit bar.

In fact, Felix guessed that Holly was stronger than Lyle. But Felix didn't know Holly too well, so how could he trust her? Besides, he even took measures to get Jerry to meet Holly before returning to Earth. If he truly got into trouble, Holly would be one of the main suspects. After getting on the Black Star-class spaceship, Felix pointed at an extremely large silver spaceship. "What is that?" he asked curiously. "That's a Destroyer-class spaceship. It's equipped with a cannon that can destroy a planet with one shot," Yvian explained.
