After several failed attempts, he finally succeeds and discovers a race of humanoid creatures known as the Kalkars. The Kalkars are a brutal and warlike race that have taken over the moon and plan to invade Earth. Julian 9th falls in love with a Kalkar princess named Luma, who is different from her fellow Kalkars. She is kind, compassionate, and wants to help Julian stop the invasion. Together, they hatch a plan to save Earth and its people.
