Last Stand!

In the year 2437, the Galactic Exploration Vessel Astra Nova, the pride of the Interstellar Fleet, embarked on a historic mission. Its objective: to explore the uncharted depths of the Andromeda Galaxy and uncover the secrets of distant star systems. Commanding this state-of-the-art vessel is Captain R. Grimes, a seasoned spacefarer with decades of experience, known for his unyielding resolve and strategic brilliance. Accompanying him is Dr. Ava Sinclair, a brilliant xenobiologist whose groundbreaking research on extraterrestrial life has earned her acclaim across the galaxy.

After several months of successful exploration, Astra Nova received a distress signal from a nearby, uncharted planet. Against his better judgment, Captain Grimes decided to investigate. The crew discovered an ancient alien ruin, emanating a mysterious energy. Dr. Sinclair, eager to study the phenomenon, led a team to collect samples and data. Unbeknownst to them, the ruins harbored a dormant alien species, awakened by their intrusion.

As the team returned to Astra Nova, the alien creatures launched a surprise assault, breaching the ship's hull and swarming its corridors. The ship's advanced AI defenses were quickly overwhelmed by the sheer number and ferocity of the invaders. Communications were cut off, and chaos ensued.

Captain Grimes and Dr. Sinclair, trapped in the command center, quickly assessed the dire situation. With the ship's systems failing and crew members scattered or incapacitated, they knew that this was their last stand!
