Vril Dox has gathered a team that, according to his descendant Brainiac 5's information, should allow him to re-take L.E.G.I.O.N. from whoever's usurped it. What he doesn't know is that the fall of his organization was the first move in a galactic invasion by Starro, and his race.
The Omega Men are prisoners on Maltus, held by Starro. Their attempt to escape ends in a desperate stand-off. A rescue by the Psions of Maltus, however, reveals that the invasion has begun in the Xylon Expanse.
