It’s a classic story of good versus evil shown in the context of political subterfuge. Buck is first discovered drifting in space by an alien race known as the Draconians, he’s taken aboard their flagship, the Draconia commanded by Princess Ardala. These aliens are heading to Earth under the guise of a trade conference, whose mission is to combine forces against interstellar pirates. Buck Rogers is revived from his cryogenic stasis, and questioned before being drugged and sent ahead of the Draconian fleet. In his new environment, his cowboy antics and independence make him standout, and he is not entirely trusted by his new colleagues, who see his ways as being typical of a people, their barbaric ancestors, who almost annihilated humanity.

But it turns out that the Draconians are actually planning to conquer the Earth and the pirates were their first wave of attacks, a trick to force a treaty and gain access directly to the planet’s defense network. Buck is first to discover their intentions and must overcome prejudice to convince Earth’s military that he has their best interests.
