He joins forces with the planet's resistance, including the shapeshifting Klone, the sorceress Mara, and his dragon Warlock, to fight the evil Overlord who rules the planet. Blackstar uses one half of a powerful, split sword called the Starsword to combat the Overlord, who possesses the other half, the Powersword.

Premise: A sci-fi adventure about an astronaut who becomes a fantasy hero.

Mara: A powerful sorceress who allies with Blackstar. Klone: A shapeshifter who helps the resistance. Warlock: Blackstar's dragon. Trobbits: Small, peace-loving, elf-like creatures who are oppressed by the Overlord.

Plot: Blackstar's mission is to free the planet Sagar from the Overlord's tyranny by using the Starsword, his half of the legendary Powerstar.
