Production notes

A cooperative effort of Starbase Command, Airwang and the Astro Marines, Starcom is the premier peacekeeping force in the growing planetary community. Our heroes are an ensemble of the best and the brightest, led by Colonels John Derringer, John Griffin and Paul Corbin -- better known as Dash, Slim and Crowbar -- who make full use of their ultra-sophisticated vehicles and state-of-the-art technology. The main obstacle to this peaceful endeavor is the sinister, mysterious Emperor Dark. Assisted by his Shadow Force, an army of powerful vehicles, evil warriors and Robot Drones, his ultimate plan is to rule the solar system in the mad belief that everyone would benefit from his dictatorship.
