Fleeing from the vengeful King Gerard and his allies, Ron Marlboro takes a desperate gamble. The half-finished, sabotage-plagued armada is unprepared for either fight or flight. With supplies of everything running dangerously low, they stop at an abandoned space station to salvage anything they can find.
