When their Colonization Fleet arrives, the Korantians intend to take over planet earth, eliminate most of its human population, and enslave the rest. The rebellion has been kept secret from the earth's population by the Korantians and the Atlanteans, each of which has been secretly trying to manipulate the rest of the human societies of earth to enable the development of the planet's infrastructure.
