Frederick Baker was a scientist who discovered an advanced spaceship from Planet Gormon. The pilot when discovered tried to kill Baker and in the resulting fight, the earthman killed the gormoni and destroyed most of the ship. When Baker informed the authorities, they took him for a madman. He spent the rest of his life studying the remains of the alien ship trying to replicate its technology, intending to travel to Gormon to prevent an invasion. Frederick died shortly after his spaceship, the Rogue Star, was completed. At his funeral and subsequent Last Will and Testament reading, Fletcher 'Flint' Baker (his son), Gale Allen (the female pilot), John Miracle (a powerful mentalist), Akeem Elmalik (a herculean african prince partner of Miracle) and the millionaire Guy Schwimmer (actually, the mysterious Jungle Rider), were gathered. The five decided to embark on the Rogue Star bound for Gormon on a near-suicidal mission. The flight was successful and the team landed on the planet Gormon, near the city of Ru. Gormon was ruled by a ruthless tyrant, Prince Blaga Daru, who got infatuated with Gale and wanted to make her his concubine. Furthermore, having managed to reach Gormon, Blaga considered that the earthlings could become a threat and decreed the invasion of Earth before they became more powerful. The five of the Rogue Star led a revolt and managed to save Earth from being invaded. Sadly, Guy Schwimmer, the Jungle Raider, died heroically to save his teammates. Miracle and Akeem returned to earth with Tigress, Guy's tiger companion. Flint and Gale, who had fallen in love, decided to stay in Gormon and start a new life, working as peacekeepers defending justice. It is known that they had a son named Herc.
