The Second Battle for Maan City

A (short) story from a particularly memorable battle I recently had in Rimworld. Inspired by HeardnSeen's fantastic story (which some may remember) but ended up being written in a different style, unfortunately.

Of course, the game doesn't literally allow one to talk to NPCs except for trading. Also, I have not read the Rimsenal lore regarding the Federation in-depth, so some parts might disagree with rooki12k's lore. I just imagined them as being mainly a group that sought to turn captured humans into their xenomorph monsters and ran with that

Care has been taken to describe the battle as accurately and faithfully as it can be pieced together from the screenshots taken and my memories of it. With a little bit of imagination and world-building, I hope it is a realistic portrayal of the circumstances that led up to the battle and its aftermath.

And, of course, an enjoyable (and hopefully not too cringe-y) read.

Thank you!
