The Rask Rebellion

Betrayal! The Rask have launched a surprise attack against their former allies, plunging the territories of Borealis into a bloody war. The tyrannical Matriarch deploys her pirate legions to seize control of the planet’s trade routes, while a UNN Assault Carrier lands a battalion of armored vehicles on its surface to restore order.

“Are you calling me a gorilla?” she scowled at me.

“I could call you a lot worse than that.”
