• Captain Abraham Avatar : [watching Earth from space]  I cannot bear to see what has become of Earth. Once green and growing with blue lakes and silver streams, great rivers and mighty seas - now all gone. Only dead and burning desert left. Radiation everywhere.

  Narrator : In the year 2199, planet Earth was facing extinction. In the mid 21st century, the mysterious planet Gamilon, a planet outside our solar system, declared war on all of Earth. These evil marauders of space, known for their ruthless warfare throughout the galaxy, bombarded Earth with deadly planet bombs. The surface of Earth became unlivable. People could only survive by moving to underground cities, far below the Earth surface. There was no defence against the bombing. Nations of the world fought as one against the Gamilons, but one by one, Earth space fleets were defeated. The Gamilons demanded total surrender, but the Earth defence command refused, so the Gamilons continued their attack. Now another danger lurks: the deadly radiation pollution caused by the bombs covers the Earth, and soon even the underground cities will no longer be safe, as day by day the radiation sinks deeper into the Earth. Earth is now hopelessly contaminated. In a year's time, all lives on earth will be extinct. Now, one last desperate battle between the Earth defence fleet and the Gamilons is being fought near the planet Pluto. Earth has only one space battleship left, commanded by Captain Avatar.

  Captain Abraham Avatar : This battleship alone, against such an evil as the Gamilons, we stand between them and Earth. We must prevail. We are Earth's last defence. Here at Pluto, we must make our stand!
