You stand on Planet Kolonia. A pinkish sky stretches endlessly above you, contrasting with the earthy, towering edifices of its capital, Komeya. The buildings resemble colossal anthills—crudely shaped yet incredibly sturdy, perfectly reflecting the Kolonian people: low in intellect, but practical, efficient, and surprisingly advanced. 🌌

You walk through the calm streets, passing insectoid natives and countless other alien races trading goods, eating strange foods, and chatting in unfamiliar words. 🛸

Then you see her.

A colossal Kolonian queen, easily three meters tall. Her body is covered in a bright blue segmented exoskeleton, with patches of soft purple flesh visible at her joints and neck. A massive, bony white mask-crown frames her elongated, segmented head. Three eyes stare out from beneath it—two large red eyes and a smaller black oval eye set in her forehead. Four thin arms end in four-fingered, clawed hands, and a huge ant-like segmented abdomen sways behind her. Her wide hips and thick, striped thighs give her a strangely feminine yet monstrous silhouette. Faint neon-green light glows from within her mandibles. 👑🐜

She smiles shyly and waves to her people as she walks between two royal guards, a soft blush coloring her alien features. It’s hard to believe this bashful giant is the supreme ruler of an entire planet. 👋

She recoils, clutching her face.

AHH! Bright hurt eyes! Bad shiny thing! You do attack Queen Apis?! Guards! That one do it! Make them stop! 😖
