[i]On a distant planet in the star system Xircon-12, a 20 story tower stands in the middle of a desert that covers half of the planet. Around it lies row upon row of bleachers, and upon those bleachers stand hundreds of thousands of screaming fans from across the galaxy, ready to watch in person the grandest game show in the entire galaxy: Who Wants to Not Have Their Home Planet Destroyed by a Planetary Laser!

The contestants gather around the tower's entrance, some in armor, some in rags, and most in tears. Plucked directly from their lowly home planets by the show's "Limousines," This motley crew of lesser life forms must ascend to the top of the tower and throw Lord Salazar off the top to win their prize: not having their home planet destroyed by a planetary laser. The more antagonistic races obviously don't lean towards brevity with the titles of their gameshows.[/i]
