First Contact — Ned Lerr

Beware the Light Eaters . . . .

A long time ago in the Nanairo Galaxy, man roamed the planets in perfect harmony with a rare species known as the Spectrobes: mysterious beings that harness light energy to unleash amazing powers. But the harmony that was once there, would soon be lost. The Krawl -- an evil force of the darkness -- appeared in the Nanairo Galaxy and wrecked havoc on the planets. The Spectrobes jumped into action to defend their freinds. Great battles ensued and the Krawl were finally beaten, but the fight proved too great, even for the Spectrobes. For some unknown reason, they were fossilized and scattered to surrounding planets buried deep in the grounds. Hundreds of years went by and the people of this galaxy were safe, but not for long. Deep in the blackness of space, thousands of vortexes filled with Krawl were on their way back to the Nanairo Galaxy . . .

On a routine mission, Rallen and Jeena, two officers from the Planetary Patrol respond to a bizarre distress signal. When they arrive they discover the wreckage of an escape capsule. Inside, an old man has been suspended in a cryogenic sleep for quite some time. When he awakes, he reveals that the light eaters known as the Krawl threaten to destroy everything in the universe. The only force that can stop the evil Krawl are a prehistoric group of creatures that have been scattered throughout surrounding worlds. They are known as The Spectrobes! But before the Spectrobes do battle, they must first be discovered and activated. Will Rallen and Jeena be able to find the Spectrobes and destroy the evil Krawl? Or will the Krawl find them first?
