Lovestruck Maggot

A heartbroken scavenger. An intrepid space cowboy. Some very good wood.

The planet Kalderra is known for several things. A blue sun. An oversized, violet moon. Massive craters formed through past volcanic activity. Strange forests comprised of the rarest, most magnificent trees in the galaxy. And kameeba, bizarre creatures whose scavenged parts can smooth skin, extend lives… and power worlds.

Mona “Ripper” Ripple is a Maggot, responsible for harvesting the volatile yet prized remains of recently deceased kameeba. As leader of the elite Karcass Five unit, Mona is the best Maggot that Kalderra has ever known. Tough and ill-tempered, demanding and crude, she’s also on the far side of forty, ancient for one in her trade, with all the scars and wrinkles and terrible memories to match.
