📋 About This Mod

The Alterra Corporation may be known for their monopoly of the weapons trade during The Expansion, but what they desire more than profit is control. Control of the weapons markets, control of their devoted employees, control of the very environments in which they operate.

Ever on the lookout for an opportunity, Alterra executives devised a secret mission: the scientific crew of the Aurora were to tame and weaponize the native creatures of 4546B. These innocent beasts were to be transformed into formidable weapons, ready to march into battle as foot soldiers of the highest bidder.

However, fate had different plans. The Aurora met a tragic demise, thwarting the realisation of this ambitious goal. In the explosive aftermath, strewn across the forsaken planet, cloning equipment lies broken, the mission unfulfilled.

Ever enterprising, you see not waste but untapped potential. While these creatures may be useless as weapons to you, they hold the promise of companionship and hope in troubled times.
