Contains 5 stories
The Emerald Moon
7 pp · science fiction

Commander Oswald Leeds leads the deep-space cruiser 12 into the mysterious Green Galaxy, where he encounters the titular Emerald Moon—an artificial sphere that proves far more than it appears. When Leeds ventures too close to investigate, he's captured by an intelligence within and whisked away to an alien world, where he meets Egro and learns the shocking truth about the sphere's origins and purpose. As Leeds navigates this dangerous encounter, both he and his crew must grapple with first contact and the question of whether an advanced alien civilization sees humanity as a threat or a curiosity.

Assault Force
4 pp · science fiction

A ruthless dictator named Mr. Z seizes control of Earth and prepares to launch a devastating fleet against distant planets, convinced they pose a threat—but when the crew of the assault force discovers the truth through a broadcast from Thuna, they face a choice between orders and conscience. With slave laborers rising up and allies from across space fighting back, the mission that was meant to conquer becomes something far different as the truth spreads among the ranks.

Gift of the Mojii
6 pp · science fiction

When an apparently grateful alien civilization from the advanced planet Moja showers Earth with boundless quantities of gold and diamonds as thanks for our protection, the gesture threatens to collapse our entire economic system. Commander Hobbs and the defense forces must contend with a well-intentioned gift that becomes Earth's greatest crisis, as precious metals and gems flood the world market and render currency worthless. The Mojii's generosity forces humanity to reckon with an unexpected consequence: sometimes the most dangerous threats aren't hostile, but friendly.

The Hive Planet
4 pp · science fiction

When a rogue planet infested with colossal insects—mosquitoes with 40-foot wingspans, beetles the size of tanks, and flying ants half as big as starships—drifts into Earth's solar system in the 22nd century, Captain Moresby leads a desperate reconnaissance mission to assess the threat. After a harrowing encounter with the creatures, Moresby proposes an unconventional solution: weaponize an insecticide from the previous century to combat the giant pests. With permission granted and his crew aboard, the Captain sets out to test a radical strategy that could determine humanity's survival.

The Ultimate Weapon
3 pp · science fiction

Earth's vast space armadas, led by Group Commander Lowden, face an equally advanced enemy fleet in a war that threatens to devastate both sides. When the enemy commander proposes a personal meeting on planet Phalys Green to resolve their conflict, Lowden accepts—only to discover that beneath centuries of civilization, the ultimate weapon may be something far more primal than any technology.
