Backstory: Hailing from planet Murkon, a world within Earths solar system which somehow orbits around the sun at the exact same rate as the Earth which is perpetually between it and the sun.

Queen Palida was the ruler of her entire world which suffered many ills for it is perpetually lacking in sunlight, creating an ever murky atmosphere which they blame on the Earth, suspecting the planet of being responsible.

Thus wishing to blow up the Earth to give themselves a better view, they plotted to kidnap earthlings, bringing them to the planet Murkon in their spacecraft which looked suspiciously similar to public busses, intending to use Earthlings natural war-like nature to create a bomb powerful enough to destroy the Earth! Taking advantage of the hypnotic gas Mesmerogen which is as natural to their atmosphere as Oxygen is to Earths, to ensure the humans support.

All the while unaware that the true culprit in this problem was a giant space cloud which is also the cause of Earth being unaware of this planet which sat between it and Mars.
