USS Astra

Amor Vincit Omnia

On a mysterious moon set for colonisation, strange phenomena reveal hidden truths among the USS Astra’s youngest crew, compelling two cadets to confront heartbreak, betrayal, and whether love can endure the truth.

Mission Description

When the USS Astra is dispatched on a mission to survey a lush, uninhabited moon filled with vibrant flora and unknown wildlife, anticipation runs high among the crew as they plan to help the development of a future Trabe colony. What seems like a straightforward exploratory mission soon takes a sinister turn with unsettling whispers that the moon is “haunted”. As the younger members of the crew succumb to disorienting visions, their emotional states become volatile, resulting in outbursts and confrontations. Hidden secrets beneath the moon’s tranquil facade begin to unravel, threatening friendships and relationships, forcing the crew to confront the moon’s mysteries and their own dormant personal demons.

Amidst everything, Cadets Alfie McCallister and Jordan Duncan face the reality of their past, questioning whether love is sufficient to mend what they seek to fix.

Some truths are hard to face. Some are impossible to hide.

“Definitely Ocampa script,” Merez muttered, studying the nearest display. “But this is strange. The technology’s far beyond anything the Ocampa are known to have built.” Lee raised an eyebrow. “So if they didn’t build it, then who did?” Merez ran a deeper [...]

The sensation of weightlessness faded slowly as Alfie’s awareness returned. His first instinct was panic. Where was he? What was going on? Everything around him was not normal. It felt almost alien-like. Cold. Bright. Silent. He sat up with a jolt, only to feel a pair of hands gently pressing [...]
