Description
A little more detailed background for Nex's pose #1 from previous post. She "appropriated" a ship years ago and has since, parked it on a small moon blanketed by a savanna with a slightly cooler than normal climate. In the background sits a massive gas giant sized ocean planet that keeps the moon well lit at night, as a bonus also provides a very scenic view. Nex settled here as home based on the fact the moon was uninhabited, and no other planet she had set foot on had quite the same tier of night time ambiance.Fun Fact : All done in illustrator with only a mouse*

out of curiosity, what kind of star is this ocean planet and moon in orbit around? And has Nex ever thought of exploring any of the other planets in
her home solar system?

Its a moon in orbit over a gas giant sized oceanic planet that's part of a binary star system.
And as for her home, she has no idea where it was at. She was adopted by a human less than half an hour after she was born, a band of raiders showed up, killed her adopted father, and torched the cabin when she was 16, which is when she took their ship and did a blind jump that crashed her into an office building on earth almost a week later. The ship that had her home's coordinates was totalled in the landing beyond repair with Nex very lucky to be alive. She doesn't have much interest in going back.

I see. So, how does she react to others visiting her moon?

The system is out in the middle of nowhere and there isn't really anything worth visiting it for, ore is sparse, any buildings are old and abandoned... There's a glitch, two florans, and an apex (who doesn't ware pants) who actually live there. She hasn't had that issue yet, I'd assume as long as no one would scratch the paint on her ship, or leave craters everywhere, she wouldn't care.

What if a visitor came with the plan to set up a colony?

Nex is friends with an avali and two felins, and has an armory packed with weapons collected over the years... Including a 152mm gun ripped off a KV-2 that was converted into an over the shoulder plasma shotgun... If someone really wanted to colonize her home, they would either have to be quite stupid, or very insistent...
