Newtron

Lore & Background

Throughout the galactic conflicts, Mooncake often found himself at the center of major events, not because he sought power, but because his immense energy abilities and unwavering loyalty made him indispensable. He frequently acted as the moral compass for the crew, challenging the more cynical or aggressive tendencies of those around him. His journey is a testament to the idea that consciousness and soul are not exclusive to biological life, as he experienced fear, love, grief, and hope with an intensity that rivaled any organic being.

In Their Own Story

The silence of deep space was usually comforting to Newtron, but tonight it felt heavy. Floating near the edge of a nebula, his single eye dimmed slightly as he replayed a memory of laughter shared on the bridge. He adjusted his thrusters, the faint hum of his engine the only sound in the void. A small asteroid drifted past, and for a moment, he considered changing course to investigate it, just to see if something new was out there waiting. But then the comms crackled with a familiar voice calling his name, and his eye brightened instantly. There was nothing else he wanted more than to be where that voice was.
