Savage Moon - The Hera Campaign (PSP)

The Hera Campaign (PSP)

On the 22nd December 2009 a new game set in the same universe and featuring some of the same units and towers was released titled 'The Hera Campaign';

Savage Moon: The Hera Campaign (named after the Aegophagus or goat eating aspect of the Greek goddess of the same name) is set within a huge gathering of Imoons, the Hera Cluster, that drifted into human space. Preliminary intelligence suggests that it consists of, at least, 20 Imoons populated by a rich variety of Insectocyte forms, some of which we have encountered before and some of which are new.
