- Peril, Thy Name is Plunderer! · 17 pages
Rom washes up on the shores of North Carolina with no memory of who he is or how he came to be there. He is befriended by a young girl who takes him to a cave for shelter. Rom battles the Plunderer who has been pirating wooden boats in the area in his latest bid for securing vibranium. During the encounter, Rom is blasted by the Plunderer's vibra-ray and his memory is restored.
- Beginning...The Saga of the Spaceknights! · 5 pages
After the Wraith war has ended and Galador is saved, Rom prepares to regain his humanity and resume his former life with Ray-Na. Instead, the Prime Director informs him that the Spaceknights are still needed to follow and banish the Wraiths who escaped. Torn between his desire for peace and his devotion to duty, Rom finally decides to remain a Spaceknight and battle Wraiths throughout the universe.
