    36 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The story goes: you’re the captain of a combat drone and one of the landers (a carefree, hotheaded one at that), an alien race left near extinction after their cow population is wiped out and supplies of milk are left dangerously low, all consequences of a war with the Anunnaki, a rival species wanting the milk all for themselves.”
