Catherine Asaro (born on November 6, 1955) is an American author of both science fiction and fantasy novels. She has a [=PhD=] in chemical physics from Harvard, and, as one might expect, her science fiction tends strongly towards the harder end of the {{Mohs scale| of Science Fiction hardness}}. She is one of a very few authors to combine hard SF and SpaceOpera with RomanceNovel tropes. She is best known for her sweeping, multivolume, multigenerational Literature/SkolianSaga, about competing galactic empires. The method of space travel in the Skolian Saga is based on a paper she published in the ''American Journal of Physics''.

The Imperialate is now the only society capable of holding the Concord at bay from conquering the entire galaxy.

* TransplantedHumans: In the "Saga of the Skolian Empire" books, ''someone'' took a group of humans from Earth around 4000 BC and transplanted them to a faraway planet (much like ''Series/StargateSG1''). These humans rediscovered spaceflight (twice -- once thousands of years ago, and again around the 1600s AD) and so were already spacefaring when Earthlings finally left home.
