Eventually, devious Space Pirates turned up and attacked transport and cargo ships, thus forcing the Galactic Federation to create a defense force known as the Federal Police. Unfortunately, the Space Pirates were extremely difficult to battle due to limitations, and because of this, the Federation began recruiting talented, well-paid individuals who hunted the Space Pirates with extremely high tech. weaponry. These individuals were known as Space Hunters and Bounty Hunters.

Word comes to the Galactic Federation that a research transport containing an unknown and possibly hazardous lifeform from the lifeless planet SR388 was attacked and looted by the Zebesian Space Pirates. There was limited information on this mysterious lifeform, although the research that they did have concluded that if it was exposed to beta rays for 24 hours or more it would multiply. Researchers believed that this organism was the destruction of SR388. Scientists worry that the Space Pirates may discover the ways of multiplying this specimen and using it as a weapon, the Galactic Federation shares their worry.
