These are the expeditions of Spaceship Lyra; dedicated to assisting friend or foe - on planets or in space. No assignment is too small or too large for their crew.Supreme commander Donte is a mascot - a human genetically altered with animal genes. Mascots were originally designed to protect and guide the colonists on a new planet, so they are the ideal crew for a research and rescue spaceship. They have attributes that no other human has, and they could live 350 to 400 years - assuming they survive their next assignment.
