The Hollow Moon first appeared in astronomical charts over ten thousand years ago, arriving in orbit as “a fiery false sun.” Unbeknownst to these early observers, however, it was neither a sun nor a moon—but a life-bearing ship filled with complex organisms, an alien menagerie cultivated by a race of highly evolved creatures.

Update: Hey heroes!
It looks like the Patreon developer team has figured out a working solution for the base Ledger again. Thank you for your patience!
