Deena piloted her craft in to the fray, knowing the chance of her survival was slim.
She didn’t stop to think of herself – she had sworn an oath to defend Terra from a relentless enemy determined to wipe out all sentient life.
She couldn’t help, though, thinking of those she left behind – family, friends, a partner who had become her lover – in her final seconds, they would be all with her in spirit.
In the moments before the final attack began, she recorded a message to her partner that she knew wouldn’t be received until long after she was vapor and dust:
“I know you worry when I have to go…but I must…remember, our oath to our planet comes first…my squad and I swore the oath again as we departed. But I will be okay, we all will, I promise!
I want you to know I am so proud of you for your promotion off planet and I will see you soon.
Don’t worry, Evie…I will be fine, we all will be…”

My awesome friend @Dxc2005 has created this gorgeous mini-series inspired by scenes from a trailer for Stellaris, and he honored me by including Deena as one of his pilots sworn to give her life for her planet and its people.
Here are a couple scenes from the beginning of the battle in space:
Deena’s final message was also inspired by DxC’s writing.
