Quest for Capture

Description

*The daunting black chasm of space. A universe spanning countless planets, planets housing an ever growing evolution of different species, species waiting to be found, though, some species, they find you, relentless in their persuit, they hunt you down, hunt you to your death....

ZX2 - A small class 2 planetoid that now orbited an almost dead sun reared in it's sunrise as the searing heat of the over exposure of the near red giant sun scorched its surface.

Rushes of gaseous elements billowed out from several pods on both ships, it appeared that the crews of the scouting party had awoken as deep clicking noises and low growls now filled the corridoors of the small crafts. A large red hollogram appeared in the center of living quarters, it appeared to be a destination on the planet below, and old space craft hanger. A quick zoom in and the hologram projected something fearsome in its display, something that looked like a massive alien queen, with this, the room filled with roars from the crew.......
