Rico Banderas is a cocky but good-hearted smuggler, accompanied by his sassy AI companion Sam. While on a routine cargo run in his aging freighter The Sapphire, Rico is suddenly attacked by mysterious raiders. His ship is damaged and he’s forced to make an emergency crash landing on a strange new planet.<\/p>\n
Rico finds himself stranded in a lush valley inhabited by exotic beast-like humanoids called Beastkin. Though resembling animals with fur, claws, tails, and animal ears, they walk upright and possess human-level intelligence and speech.<\/p>\n

The female Beastkin are instinctively drawn to Rico’s rugged good looks and confident swagger. And when he successfully fends off a slaver attack, they begin to view him as a prophesied hero who will help free them from oppression.<\/p>\n
With his ship beyond repair for now, Rico agrees to help the Beastkin in exchange for their aid in locating the rare minerals needed to get back home. But the more time he spends with these charming and beautiful animal girls, the less incentive he has to actually leave…<\/p>\n
