Just finished my first playthrough in about an hour, a memorable experience !
The "Alouette" went from a high-end spaceship for a senator to a remnant of the past found by a teenager, that will become a great and known explorer. In between, an authoritarian empire (started by the first senator) conquered everything, was then eradicated by more advanced aliens that imposed their own vision of "peace" over the galaxy.
I love the Rest mechanic and the meditative state it brings. Props to you for the great audios, it really helps.
