Ships mysteriously disappear near the planet Marduk. Marduk is five times the size of Earth but has extremely low gravity. Captain Larq of the Lunex Luna sends a message as his craft is pulled in. Clive and Lansing investigate. The Space Rangers follow the Staritania as its pulled in. In the center of Marduk is a station where all the trapped craft are moored. The trap is devised by Karmud, the Master of Marduk. Stella Dawn was on the Staritania. She meets Rex and Speed, and they devise a way to defeat Karmud. The Space Rangers are called in to drive out Karmud.
