STAR BLAZERS
THE QUEST FOR ISCANDAR
SYNOPSIS
(Referenced from Teklords site)
In the year 2199, Earth is under attack from an alien race called the Gamilons.
Gamilon planet bombs covered the earth with a deadly radioactive pollution and
the surface of the earth is now unlivable. All life on Earth has moved underground.
But even there, far below the earth's surface, the deadly radiation poisoning
is beginning to reach them. Now all life on Earth has just one year left to live.
But there is hope. On the planet Iscandar, there is a machine called the Cosmo DNA
which can remove the radioactivity and restore Earth to it's natural state.
The Star Force must travel 148,000 light years and back in just one earth year or
all life on Earth will become extinct. But the Gamilons are determined to stop the
Star Force at all costs.
