Give Peace a Chance
I recently wrote Shen Ark: Departure, which tells a story about mutated rats (New Rats), cats (New Cats), other animals and humans, as the Rats prepare for a voyage in a starship. The Rats and Cats of course are bitter enemies.
Rats are impatient to board their starship and depart Earth.
Humans want the alien technology.
Cats just want to kill Rats.
To give you an idea of the relationship between Rats and Cats, here is a very brief excerpt:-
Cedric shivered and hid a rush of fear from his Rats and from himself as he realized the Cats’ intense concentration was simply a prelude to their intended attack. These Cats had identified him as the leader of the New Rats, and he was their target. They stared at him with their almost glowing yellow eyes, as though each Cat was imprinting him on some feline prefrontal cortex target acquisition function. He shivered. Those yellow eyes watched his every move.
So the question arises, what would happen if one of the Cats was interested in peace? Give Peace a Chance* is the result.

Grators
Grators is one of a series of short stories about the Fleet hero, Foster Allyil. He claims he was a Colonel in the GalFed Fleet and has a starfighter stashed away—for defensive purposes only, of course. If readers are interested, I may develop his story and adventures into one or more novel length stories; I have unauthorized access to his logbooks and diaries, which should provide me with excellent material.
Occasionally, in stories about the GalFed universe, you might encounter a science fiction in-joke—if these are too obtuse, or indeed too obvious, let me know.
