I would like to suggest that one solution to this logine is: think franchise.

It seems to me there is not only way too much detail in the logline, there is also too much incident, too much story to cram into one 2 hour movie. So why not break it out into several movies? In the first movie, establish central conceit, the story hook: a young woman is compelled to be a galactic mule/host for an alien species. Develop the plot, end the movie on a cliffhanger beat -- that's what George Lucas did when he conceived the Star Wars franchise.

fwiw.

The plot can be simplified to the main character, her action and her goal. There is less a need for the wordy descriptions and abundant of detail in the logline. Also best to specify and inciting incident and goal with a direct cause and effect relationship that force the MC to take action.

My try:
After a young woman aboard a space ship inadvertently becomes the host of a life form which was a runaway slave. She must help him fight the evil galactic government to free his people in order to save her own life.

Hope this helps.
