WarGate or War Gate Fiction is a new genre of fiction writing that blends fantasy elements, such as magic and myth, along with fantasy races, and centers around small elements of military sci-fiction.

Typical War Gate fiction [usually] involves a modern or near-futuristic military unit such as a group of [special forces], or even a whole fleet of warships, displaced in time and space through some mysterious means. The unit invariably ends up in an [alternate universe] featuring a classic fantasy setting with dragons, magic and other mystic elements. Chaos and heroics ensue. In extreme cases, the fantasy elements arrive here in our world, and modern military and polices forces must repel their invasion.

Note: This differs from the more general "Isekai" situation, where the protagonist dies and reincarnates, or gets transported to another universe, and through some special quirk or skill is able to master the traditional mechanics and cultural elements of that universe to their advantage. The protagonist of an isekai is from all walks of life and usually becomes an integral part of that universe. In a War Gate situation, the protagonist(s) are almost always military, and will usually stand apart from the inhabitants of world, though not necessarily [antagonistic] towards them. The protagnist(s) will often rely more on their superior modern equipment and [understanding] of scientific principles, rather than attempt to incorporate themselves into existing cultures of that universe.
