Long ago, before man was even aware that life beyond earth existed, there waged a war between 2 races; the Chymilians and the Scrapathians. Although the reason for the war is lost to their history, two of their major battleships found themselves near earth's space. Not wanting to endanger the lives of the "primitive" earthlings, the Chymilians activated their "Warpstar" transporter in order to transport the Scrapathians' entire fleet to another part of the galaxy, however, they did not anticipate that the Scrapathians high powered war device would adversely interact with the "Warpstar", resulting in the total destruction of both fleets. However, the alien fallout energies descended on the earth resulting in drastic effect, altering some of the humans' genetic codes, producing "mutants" with superhuman powers.
