A request by a fan! This one is heavy on the sci-fi and involves some transformations, while still having tonnes of Fpreg and Mpreg and aliens. Enjoy :)

The planet of Sacharine was about six thousand light years from the Sol system, west as the crow flies, located in the Perseus arm of the galaxy. It had been a barren planet, one of five in it's own solar system, smack in the middle between two planets that boiled and churned too close to the sun and two massive gas giants each the size of Jupiter. It had been mapped centuries ago by the Collective and designated as a possible terraforming site for carbon-based lifeforms should they so require. It was in the goldilocks range, perfect for habitat; it was just going to take another hundred million years to get there at current evolution.
So it had been left alone since discovery. The Collective began to expand across the stars slowly, a union of various alien species all coming together in peace, sharing technology and ideals, and striving to all work together in their pursuit of science and democracy. Things had progressed as they had for nearly one thousand years until the Collective discovered a small planet, third in its system, teeming with an abundance of life.
The planet was called Earth. The species called themselves human and there was seven billion of them all across the land mass. They weren't unremarkable in their appearance, there were plenty of lifeforms like them already in the collective. The humans were just starting the next stage of their technological development and were in the beginning stages of space travel. Well, some of them were. They were not a homogenous society and there was division on their planet. Wars and famine still took place between nations.
But one quickly changed their attitudes when they discovered that not only were they not alone in the universe and that there were over a hundred other species out there to meet them. The humans found themselves a small fish in a very large pond over night.
Immediately they requested to be a part of the Collective. The humans assimilated quickly, proving themselves to be rapid thinkers and quite dexterous in their ability to adapt to space. But what marveled the Collective was their ability to reproduce. There was simply no other species like it. They bred quickly, even for a Vorchik, and they matured quickly too. Earth had the highest population of any planet in the Collective even before they were discovered. They were considered unique for their abilities, and then they became even more valuable when it was discovered that their talents didn't stop there.
There was an anomaly in their DNA, the gene sequencing different to other species. Part of the Collective's goals were to catalogue and research all life they came across, and after the humans had been studied by their scientists, it was discovered the humans were going to be very useful. With only a slight modifier in their genes, it was found that human females could successfully carry to term over ninety percent of young of all species in the collective. This included the stone hard warrior race from T'Lork with hard armor plates for skin, the reptilian Shotu that resembled an Earth snake, even the Mysticals of Olanje, a race that had to live within the sea water of it's home planet.
The human women found their place within the collective as the breeders, hired by entire planets and species to explode their population, sometimes even saving them from extinction. They became a highly valuable commodity, to the point where human scientists, now equipped with Collective technology, were even able to adapt human males to become breeders, and with that there was now double an opportunity for everyone.
Soon it was commonplace to have humans on every planet in the collective, breeding for whoever wished to pay. And for new colonies, they were invaluable. The Collective expansion had been slow before, but with humans, they almost quadrupled their speed in the first decade. Two centuries late, the Collective had spread and catalogued nearly a fifth of the milky way galaxy.
Sacharine was chosen to be terraformed. The planet was seeded with Atmosphere Processors, hundreds littering the surface of the planet, and began to churn away, converting the primordial ooze and air into oxygen. Three decades after it had begun, the planet was deemed habitable. Gone was the lightning and ion storms which ravaged the skies, the molten rock and boiling rivers which had once run across the dirt. Now it was green fields, blue skies, and forests were starting to immerge. The planet had been seeded with life, and now the new animals swam through the oceans, insects buzzed through the flowers, and soon after came the first colony ships.
They dropped through the sky, great bulky ships equipped with all manner of provisions and equipment to create a comfortable life for everyone arriving. Collective ships would arrive periodically to top up supplies and medical equipment, bringing more colonists with them, but the initial landing was designed so that in the event of a major catastrophe galaxy wide, the people on this planet could be self sufficient in a worst-case scenario.
Within a week the first settlement was erected. The bulk transports themselves were used as the first buildings, designed to be moved apart, broken down, and turned into prefabricated shelters until the first printing generators could get up and running and begin proper construction. The largest cruiser was six hundred meters long, with over four hundred colonists inside. It was a long, oblong ship, designed by the Hageth, a winged species, who dealt in curves and smoothness with their designs. There were forty species on this ship, ten of each, and they all filed out, moving out into the great grassy plains to find a patch of dirt and claim it as theirs.
Certain species were more nomadic, others preferring a community, and it was up to the individual to decide where and how they would slot in with wider public. Some though had been given certain jobs, even from day one, and were already part of the small little government and services available for colonists since the initial landing.
Separate to the four hundred colonists that were part of this cruiser were four humans. In some ways they were the most valuable members of this colony. The colonists themselves had been selected for their prime breeding quality even amongst their species, so that they would flourish out here on this new world, fit and healthy and able to adapt to the conditions easily. But for some species, that still meant a gestational period of years, some only mated once every decade.
But with the humans, speed and health was what they were built for. The first week was focused on habitation, ensuring the cruiser was stripped and then rebuilt in a small commune for everyone. More ships would be arriving daily from the Collective from deep space with more tools, equipment and food, but the settlement was established without any issues. With everyone happy and things progressing quite well, the human couple Jovia and Venus Stern were called upon to begin their duty for the next foreseeable future.
"Who did you get?" Jovia asked. They were sitting in their house, a prefab structure constructed from 3D printed resin and steel, essentially a giant cube that was subdivided by white walls. This would be their home for the next couple of years, located right by the command structure of the cruiser and directly next to the colony medical bay.
"I got a clutch of Shotu." Venus said, sitting down at their small table. They were newly married technically, only for six months, but thanks to time dilation and travel from Jupiter, the real time was in decades. They'd met in school in one of the space stations in low orbit around the gas giant, a gateway port for all interstellar travel to and from the system. There were a few such stations located in Sol, all mega constructions designed to facilitate all species of the Collective as they travelled through their part of the galaxy.
Much like her namesake, Venus had ginger hair, light and fair, with high cheekbones and a slim body from living most of her life on the artificial gravity of the situation. Jovia himself was also slim but more athletic, prone to working out in the gym as much as he could. The two had been accepted into the surrogacy program due to their high natural health, and even better, they were a married couple. Both of them had been looking for a way to get out as soon as they could, and human surrogacy was the best way. The high need for humans only seemed to grow in demand across the galaxy.
"How many did they implant?" Jovia asked his wife. She was rubbing her belly, despite being less than a day pregnant. She was already smiling, touching herself there every second, as if trying to determine if she could already feel them growing. She'd always wanted to be a part of the surrogacy project. Jovia had been happy to please her and join in.
"Six they said. All healthy so far." She gave him a big smile, brown eyes glittering as she couldn't contain her happiness. "What's your first time going to be?"
"The Doctor told me I got three Yajinir." Jovia patted his own flat stomach underneath his shirt.
