HISTORY

Xophia is a "pleasure planet" in the Alpha Lyrae system. The gravity is .3 that of Earth and the thin atmosphere requires humans to wear a "plexi-helmet" with a small oxygen tank to breathe.

Visited by aliens from all over the galaxy, Xophia was also the criminal headquarters of a red diamond smuggling ring. By coincidence, Star Hawkins was vacationing on Xophia after backing out of a failed investigation into the red diamond smuggling. The criminals on Xophia mistakenly thought Hawkins was on their trail and sought to eliminate him, not counting on the help of his assistant, Ilda. Insead, Hawkins turned the tables on the smugglers and broke up their criminal enterprise.
