You are Lindi, just Lindi. You are the Captain, Captain Lindi not just Lindi you suppose,of a class zeta Drakkon generation ship known as the Tiamat. The Tiamat was sent out by the Drakkon Empire in order to expand control, a number of eggs were collected and stored on the ship set so that once the ship had gone far enough the main psionic generators would activate enabling the eggs to hatch.

You're getting off track. What were you doing? ... Introductions yes.

You are Captain Lindi of the Tiamat. You are a near perfect genetic copy of your mother ... dam, she is your dam a mother would at least acknowledge or interact with her child, with only a few minor changes due to habitat & exposure, parthenogenesis can't account for circumstantial genetic changes after all. As all Drakkon have the compulsion to hoard you do as well, in your case you hoard [gods damn it where's that chart ... I'll just make something up] bedding, you have the most comfortable room on the ship. You have an interest in legendary artifacts & lost/extinct cultures/civilizations and of course possess the prerequisite knowledge of history necessary to fully understand such subjects. You have also been known to kill time with games. You are an exceptionally strong telekinetic but you are rather weak willed but no one on this ship would even think of exploited that. You rely on your telekinesis in combat but carry a pistol in the unlikely event of being unable to use your psionics. You try to rule the Tiamat as fairly & efficiently as possible. You have teal scales, yellow reptilian eyes, & wear a simple yet practical grey outfit.

This is boring. [Especially the physical description, unfortunately I have literally no art skills]

You retrieve your tablet from your inventory and check for any news or notifications. Oh thank the Empire you're being called to the bridge. You really hope it's something serious that requires lots of time & attention. You leave for the bridge.

You stare at the display on screen. A life sustaining planet once part of the ancient Alternian Empire, now long abandoned & reclaimed by nature. According to the Galactic Council satellite it is a nature reserve but according to some probes you've sent down Drakkon can survive on it. An exploration team or two is an order you decide.

The ancient Alternian Empire has always been a subject that fascinates you. Once a thriving empire spanning solar systems it all just spontaneously died one day due to a psychic event known as "The Vast Glub". While they may have used some barbaric techniques they were pretty technologically advanced, heck it's even similar to some Drakkon tech. You cannot wait to see what this planet has. But first, you'll need a crew.
