UNS Challenger

The aliens felt so distinct and fleshed out, which added depth to the conflicts. I'm curious whether this was planned from the beginning or evolved during writing.

While I enjoyed the world-building, the slower sections made me wonder if they were necessary for the story's emotional impact or if they could be trimmed.

The dynamics felt very authentic and nuanced. I'm interested in whether real military structures influenced these relationships or if they were purely fictional.
