A trader who pulled into Starbase 20 reported some strange sightings in a binary system off the beaten path. She reported what appeared to be a fairly thriving ecology based in the huge belt of asteroidal debris which constituted the planetary mass of this two-star formation.

Vacuum ecologies were not unknown, but are definitely rare. Commodore Vrinn'n dispatched the scout ship, Rama, to look into this report and gather more information - including, hopefully, some detailed remote scans of the lifeforms in question.

My little story snippets are often colored by my reading material du jour. That's certainly the case here, after finishing up Timothy Zahn's "Warhorse".

Man, your lighting skills can make a simple composition striking. You make the background green gas haze yourself in photoshop or do you use a program/plugin like Cosmic Pack?

The background haze was all part of the source image. The only thing I did was echo that haze a bit on the ship in Photoshop.
Glad ya like!!! :D

The microscopically-shrunken Rama passes through the congested bloodstream of Commander Montgomery Scott and discovers it's ... it's green! :D
