"In a time before time life existed in the outer galaxies. Vast star nations prospered under the kind rule of the Star Emperor until… the rise of the evil count Zarth Arn, arch ruler of the Haunted Stars. In the secrecy of his hidden domain on the phantom planet, the Count created the ultimate weapon, a weapon designed to destroy the very minds of those who would oppose him. Knowledge of this weapon soon reached the Star Emperor. An imperial starship was sent to locate the Count and confirm the existence of such a weapon. The starship was destroyed. It was an easy victory for the Count and proved that his dark world was invincible, that the forces of Evil Count rise again and ultimately dominate the galaxy. From the Haunted Stars to the edge of the universe, Count Zarth Arn would spread his terror and treachery. The time had come for rebellion."
