The Saga of Seven Suns is a series of seven space opera novels written by Kevin J. Anderson and published between 2002 and 2008.  The books are set in a not-too-distant future where humans have colonized a number of other planets across the galaxy, thanks in part to technological assistance from an ancient alien race, the Ildirans.  The series chronicles the universe-spanning war that erupts when humans inadvertently ignite the fury of a hidden empire of elemental aliens known as the hydrogues.  Internal conflict is sparked within both the human and Ildiran empires as other ancient elemental races reappear to renew their own ancient war with the hydrogues. The Eternals are a fictional race of superhumans appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.  They are described as an offshoot of the evolutionary process that created sentient life on Earth.  The original instigators of this process, the alien Celestials, intended the Eternals to be the defenders of Earth, which leads to the inevitability of war against their destructive counterparts, the Deviants.  The Eternals were created by Jack Kirby and made their first appearance in "The Eternals" #1 (July 1976).

The protagonists face off against hostile North Korean soldiers, heavily armed mercenaries, and a race of technologically advanced aliens known as the Ceph, who arrived on Earth millions of years ago for unclear reasons, and have recently been awakened. In the fictional Marvel Universe, Saturn's moon Titan is a location appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.  It is depicted as the home of the Titanian Eternals.  It first appeared in "Iron Man" #55 (Feb 1973) and was created by Jim Starlin and Mike Friedrich.

Halo is a military science fiction first-person shooter video game franchise created by Bungie and now managed and developed by 343 Industries, a subsidiary of Microsoft Studios.  The series centers on an interstellar war between humanity and a theocratic alliance of aliens known as the Covenant.  The Covenant, led by their religious leaders called the Prophets, worship an ancient civilization known as the Forerunners, who perished in combat with the parasitic Flood.  The central focus of the franchise builds off the experiences of Master Chief John-117, one of a group of supersoldiers codenamed Spartans, and his artificial intelligence (AI) companion, Cortana.  Other characters, such as Noble Six from "", are also introduced in the series.  The term "Halo" refers to the Halo rings: large, habitable superweapons that were created by the Forerunners to destroy the parasitic Flood.  They are similar to the Orbitals in Iain M. Banks' "Culture" novels, and less so to author Larry Niven's "Ringworld" concept. EON-4 was the first sci-fi episodic website.  The story, created by Rockne S.

Crocker, Russian Alona Renee Kalinova, and John Eric Lange were allowed visitation (as EXPLRR TM I) with these aliens known as the Sentients, but were soon involved in a political intrigue on the alien world.  Crocker dies on the trip to the Sentients contact point on Mars. The Uranians are a fictional race in the Marvel Universe.

Originally described as a utopian society of extraterrestrials native to Uranus who had found scientific cures for aging, disease, crime, and other ills, they were later retconned as a colony of the Eternals, an offshoot humanity which possessed near-immortality, super-powers and vastly advanced technology even before founding their colony.
