Premise
editThe story features the Starjammers, and the Shi'ar and it is set immediately after the conclusion of the mini-series Emperor Vulcan. Vulcan has set his sight on conquering the rest of the universe in the name of the Shi'ar empire. The series follows his expansionist plans and attempts by the Starjammers, Havok, Rachel Summers, Lilandra Neramani, Korvus and others to stop him. Failing in their attempts, they flee to enlist the aid of the Kree. The events narrated in the comic book served as a lead to War of Kings, in March 2009.[2][3]
