In my story, Captain Rosa Conroy is leading an expedition on a newly discovered planet that might be a good replacement for Earth, but there’s just one problem: the region they want to explore has sentient alien life, and the Captain’s superiors order her to raid the natives’ home. Captain Conroy is at odds with her orders to clear out the natives’ land and it lands her and her expedition right into trouble.
