Humanity’s Resolve Shattered the Galactic Fleet’s Challenge scifisho part 02 of 02

November 15, 2025 • 5 mins
Commander Varar slammed his fist against the control panel, leaving a dent in the premium caveartite alloy. The holographic display flickered to life, showing a Dominion scout ship approaching the third planet orbiting a yellow star known to humans as Earth. The arm touched the ship's hull and then the scout ship disintegrated. Varar said quietly, his voice tight. It's a long-range detection system capable of spotting dominion vess...

Humanity’s Last Stand Became the Galaxy’s First Lesson in Fear scifi

November 15, 2025 • 1 min
To them, humanity would be no different, just another planet silenced beneath their banners, but humanity is never just another. They prepared, old weapons were reforged, new strategies born, and when the first shots fell, humanity's last stand began. Against overwhelming firepower, human fleets launched strikes with impossible precision, a single rail slug tore apart a dreadnought. On the ground, soldiers fought street by street, ...

Ambassador Chen, he said in a cold voice. We learned different lessons from our war, as she said. We will send a fleet to your colony of New Perth, the advisor said. Chen closed her eyes for a moment in thought of New Perth, green fields, children playing, her niece living there. I am Michael Chen, the man said, Governor of New Perth, you have come to take our world.

Humanity Was Meant to Kneel But We Chose to Rise scifishortstory h

November 15, 2025 • 1 min
Their armies landed in cities across the earth, and their leaders gave one command. Farmers turned fields into battlefields, engineers turned factories into arsenals, and children carried messages through ruined streets, so armies could fight on. At first, the galaxy dismissed the rebellion as pointless, but then, outnumbered and outgunned, humanity began to win. Fleets fell into traps, set by desperate ingenuity, and entire legion...

Humanity Refused to Die And the Galaxy Will Never Forget scifishort

November 10, 2025 • 1 min
Their weapons leveled our cities, their warships turned our skies into fire, and their generals declared humanity finished. Every scrap of metal, every ounce of willpower became part of the fight. Gorilla warfare turned into open resistance, and open resistance became a storm. Human determination bled into every battlefield, until alien legions that once marched with arrogance now stumbled in fear. It was the refusal to bow, the re...

Human Fleet Storms the Battlefield The Enemy Falls Instantly

Admiral Fexlar, commanding what remained of the Council forces, watched his tactical display with growing despair. Corvox shields designed to block energy weapons were useless against solid matter moving that fast. Admiral Fexlar could only watch and shock as the human fleet carved through the Corvox like a machine through paper. The few ships that escaped jumped to hyperspace, sending desperate warnings to their empire, avoid huma...

Natural event, though NIM scoffed that nothing about it looked natural, saying it was as unnatural as their grandmother's cooking. Prefer...

How the Galactic Council Discovered Earth’s Secret to Winning Wars in

How his earth already defeated the Dominion, general Hassan sat at the hearing table looking worn out. Hassan said evenly, or the one that won't get me court-martialed. Hassan replied, food transport networks, fuel depots, factories, nothing that can't be rebuilt, but everything an army depends on. By day five, Dominion soldiers were stuck in bases with no orders, no fuel, and no clue what was happening. And by day 10, Vexner asked...

To send a message, we shot down one of their cargo ships. Just sheer kinetic force as thousands of tons of metal slammed into Zinthean colonies and defense stations at relativistic speed. In that moment every species present realized what humanity had done and what they were capable of. And if we refuse, Sarah's smile widened, not warmly but with quiet certainty. Humanity had just reminded the galaxy of something their advanced civ...

A moment later, her screen filled with every classified research file in the entire institute, including Professor Zix's top secret work on temporal mechanics. That evening, Professor Zix brought Maya to the core chamber, where the predecessor matrix itself resided. And that's how a first-year human student became the f...

    Ruthie's Table 4

    Ruthie's Table 4

    For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
