I love a weird sci-fi setting, and this one really delivers on that, with good writing and some really lovely art. The portraits are great. Definitely found the story intriguing and would like to learn more. This really felt like something out of the '70s in the best possible way. Reminded me a little of Valérian and Laureline in particular.
As for the silly acronyms, I kind of liked them. They were a bit of a tonal mismatch here, but I think it was mostly fine, since it added a little levity. BALLS and SHAFT seemed a bit much at first, but once I got to the fight, it made sense. Might be worth re-considering depending on how serious you want the story to be, but it was funny at least.
