HISTORY

Zavak was as alien world, with a population resembling humans. They had been studying Earth when a nuclear war broke out with a rival planet. An evacuation fleet was rapidly constructed to spare their women and children from the deadly fallout but tragedy struck when the fleet collided with a rogue asteroid.

The men of Zavak survived, though not for long as the radiation took its toll. In less than a year, they were mutated into repulsive blue skinned humanoids. Finding a final spacecraft the men drew a lottery to see which one of their number would use it to escape their doomer world. That man was Bamor, a former scientist, who would travel to Earth.
