Summary
A short biographic piece detailing the life and early career of an alternate Asra Nox, who in my rewrite, instead of being a human supremacist-fascist cult leader, is instead an anarcho-communist savior of the proletariat intent on bringing an end to all 'progress,' which she believed brought about the calamity of the Ruin.
Involves a rewrite of Starbound lore to make it more diegetic and captivating. Enjoy!
