For as long as the world can remember, nature was breathtakingly beautiful. In the interstellar era, their long voyage led them to the pinnacle of evolution. Even in the vast sea of the stars, they remained at the top of the food chain. However, this also led to them losing their only home. Their beautiful blue planet, the birthplace of life, has long been destroyed. On the remaining habitable planets, spiritual plants have become scarce, and all animals have died, leaving them with nothing but mutant aliens. Even the soil, the water, and the air were polluted. The green scenery and the clear sky are like mirages, living only in their dreams. But what if nature rebelled? In the long passage of longing, they had forgotten that nature itself was, in fact, more cruel than any of them. - General Liele, the current strongest combatant of the empire, was severely injured after the last coalition war. As a result, he degenerated back into his mimetic juvenile form, unable to turn back. If his situation persists, he'll be locked in a sanatorium and live like a mad prisoner. But such is the fate of all of his predecessors. Before descending into utter madness, he instinctively followed a little girl who had the fragrance of flowers. The girl was tiny and soft. She especially looks fragile. However, she goes in and out of the black market and all known illegal planets. Owning an unauthorized robot and driving an unlicensed Mech, not abiding by the laws, how rebellious are you?! Kidnapping juvenile mimetic forms, keeping black households, hiding illegal immigrants, and hijacking the army network! Be honest, are you a space pirate?! The general felt he had indeed boarded a pirate ship, and it was too late to jump off. For the sake of his food and housing, that's fine; let's be the most fearsome interstellar pirates. #Interstellar #Farming #Slowpacing
