History:

(Marvel Graphic Novel#3: The Metamorphosis Odyssey Book Three: Dreadstar) - Vanth Dreadstar met with Syzygy Darklock, agreeing to join his crusade to end the war between the Monarchy and the Instrumentality but insisting that they would follow his lead. They also discussed that others would join their struggle.

(Epic Illustrated#15/4: Dreadstar (fb) - BTS) - Amongst their plotting, Vanth and Syzygy put together what they called "Plan M"; partly for his own protection, they kept their ally Oedi ignorant of this dangerous plot .

(Epic Illustrated#15/4: Dreadstar (fb)) <A week before the main story> - Aboard the Lightcutter II, Syzygy, Vanth and Oedi encountered the twisted shell of a Monarchy space fortress, which had once been the realm's mightiest weapon, and Syzygy concluded that the Instrumentality had finally gained the hand in the war between the two empires. At Vanth's query, Syzygy advised that they abandon the Monarchy to its own resources and hope it survived long enough for them to put Plan M into operation. When Oedi asked about this Plan M, Syzygy instructed him that it was unspeakably dangerous and the less he knew about it, the better, especially if captured.

    When Vanth noted that Plan M required a lot of equipment, with the first step alone requiring a giant cargo ship, Syzygy explained that he knew that they could obtain such a ship from the Instrumentality on the mining colony on Tortorelzor, aka the Rock.

(Epic Illustrated#15/4: Dreadstar - BTS) - Infiltrating the mining colony, Vanth and Oedi ultimately stole Ship #Delta457 (or something like the delta symbol, with a small break in the center of the bottom/horizontal portion of the triangle), which they renamed "Big Bundle," Vanth and Oedi allowed Syzygy to dock the Lightcutter II within the cargo ship, and they began making steps for the next step in Plan M: To rob a church.

    They were unaware that a woman had followed them...
