They Called Humanity's Ships "Ugly"... Until They Were the Only Ones Left | An HFY Story

In a galaxy of pristine, hyper-specialized civilizations, humanity is the ultimate outlier. Our ships are not elegant. Our crews are not specialists. Our logistics are a chaotic mess of redundancy and brute force. To the Galactic Concordat, we are "The Mules"—slow, stubborn, and profoundly inefficient.

But when a new enemy, the D'val Collective, begins a war of attrition, targeting the Concordat's fragile and perfectly optimized supply lines, the galaxy's elegant systems begin to shatter. The only hope lies with the very species they dismissed.

This is the story of "The Mules," where humanity's ugly, over-engineered, and incredibly tough cargo haulers become the unbreakable backbone of a galactic war effort. It is a tale that proves that in a war of grinding attrition, it's not the fastest or the most graceful who wins, but the one who simply refuses to break down.
