My name is Steelwing. Lieutenant-Commander Steelwing, fifth squadron.

I have scored at least six hundred kills across sixty combat missions. The press calls me "the last hope of sapient kind". Rookies look up to me. Mares fawn over me.

They're worshiping a lie.

Millions of years in the future, Celestia and Luna watch over a dying world. Its surface is a cracked, barren wasteland, baked by a dying sun. The ocean is a caustic soup, choked with salt. Few creatures can survive this hellish future, and even their days are limited.

The Moon. An airless, lifeless ball of rock and dust.

For over a century, Luna has been trapped on this floating dustball, trying in vain to keep herself occupied. Bored and lonely, she desperately needs a companion. Any kind will do. She's not in the mood to be picky. But when the nearest living thing is hundreds of thousands of miles away, that's a bit of a challenge.

Then one day, she gets an idea. If she can't find a friend, maybe she can make one...
