History: (Silver Surfer III#103) - The planet Karidian's unstable sun was dying; it threatened to wipe out the Karidian race. The Silver Surfer sought to stabilize it with the power cosmic. He succeeded despite the interference of the Coalition Fleet. He told the Fleet that the sun had only been stabilized for 1,000 years, and that they had to make a new start by helping the Karidians find a way off-planet. The Karidians celebrated in the streets as the Surfer flew off.
(Silver Surfer III#124 (fb)) - The Coalition Fleet used their last operational starfighters to reach the Karidian planet. They demanded the Karidians help them track down and kill the Silver Surfer. The Karidians would not think of harming their savior, and refused. The Coalition Fleet then attacked, eventually setting up a doomsday device over the Karidian capital city. The Karidians still wouldn't relent until one captured soldier agreed to help them. This soldier became a living weapon named Bounty, and went off to find the Surfer.
(Silver Surfer III#124) - Bounty returned home to Karidian with the Silver Surfer by his side. Together they ended the Coalition's subjugation of the Karidians. The Karidians promised to make sure the Coalition Fleet would mistreat no other race.
