Starjammers #1

Cadet Tolo Hawk is attending a fancy dinner in honor of Princess Sabra on a spaceship bound for the royal planet Kinshaa when Verdian Terce brings in a Thorn pirate and has him executed in front of the guests. Unbeknownst to Tolo and the Princess, Terce is hooked on the Thorn drug Hyrax and has political aspirations to overthrow the Princess so that the Committee on which he serves can rule. The space journey is interrupted as the Thorn Pirates and the Starjammers attack looking for their captured comrade.
