Star Tigers (comic story)
Summary
Part One
In the 26th Century the Draconians watch undecided about the action they should take as three Dalek craft enter their space in pursuit of another ship. Prince Salander watches as the Dalek craft are destroyed by the stranger in the fourth craft. To shortcut bureaucracy, Salander welcomes and befriends the visitor (Abslom Daak), without the Emperor’s permission. Daak is searching for a way of resurrecting Taiyin from her cryogenic unit. Salander offers his help but is accused of treason by fellow Draconian Axiron. Both Daak and Salander are placed under house arrest, but Salander learns of his sons death by Dalek fire and the Emperor’s refusal to engage in hostility. After collecting Taiyin’s body with Daak make their escape in Salanders private spacecraft.
Part Two
Having fled the Draconian Empire in a prototype attack ship (the ‘Kill-Wagon’), Abslom Daak (with a cryogenically stored Taiyin) and Prince Salander search for a crew. Harma is an Ice Warrior employed as a contract killer on Paradise. Daak overpowers Harma makes him break his contract and they go off in search of Mercurius on the planet Dispater where he plays out a game of parachess with Klickbrain while the Kill-Mechs close in on his home and planet. Reluctantly Mercurius leaves with the others and Daak - the man who stole his hand in return for once stealing away his girl Selene. Laying low from Dalek Space Commando Units disguised as orbiting meteoroids the ‘Kill Wagon’ crew launch a successful attack on a Dalek craft based inside a volcano on the planet.
