The hero/heroine of the game is someone who had a prearranged political marriage. The two warring planets are on the brink of extinction due to the threat of planet-killing weapons that have been developed.
In an attempt to avert the destruction of both planets, the ruling family of Parspinon offers up their son/daughter to marry the Emperor of Glibulous 7. While fulfilling their duty and arriving on the alien planet to secure a treaty the player is seated at a banquet in their honor. During the feast, a guest lets slip that the bride/groom is to be the main course! In a hurried attempt to get out of there as fast as possible, the player comes across a ship in the repair bay that looks like it’ll barely fly, but beggar’s can’t be choosers!
This is the beginning of a mad dash to get free and stay alive!
