Homage to vintage toys and celebrates classic space adventuring themes. Cadet Brett Bradfield is a risk-taking mechanic who always seems to get himself into trouble. Xero Xanthum is a top scientist and security expert. Both find themselves assigned to the same remote research station on the planet Delphynia by Captain Cornelius Albacore. The set box is filled with bits of their backstory along with their current mission.
