After years and years of inter-galactic fights and squabbles, and just as every spaceman, android and mutant in the universe thinks they can put their feet up and have a well-earned rest, out of the blue it all kicks off again!

About Space Rangers and the Dominators

As an ominous new threat emerges throughout the galaxy, everyone holds their breath. A key planet responsible for producing war androids has become self-aware. The Dominators are a mutant force who have advanced well beyond their programmed ability to fulfil the wishes of their creators. They have developed their own intellect, force of will and agenda and are now striving only to destroy everything in their path and expand their own horizons by conquering the galaxy one planet at a time.
