The crew speculate that the original owners of the Liberator have come to reclaim their property. Alien troopers appear onboard and kidnap some of the crew. The Liberator docks with an enormous space complex operated by a massive computer called the SYSTEM. This computer controls three planets who were at war with each other until a super computer was developed to overtake the weapon systems of all the planets.
