A series of letters from home reaches the Voltron Force, and for some reason this sends Chip into a deep depression. The Voltron Force needs to mobilize, but Chip is nowhere to be found. Hawkins sends out the incomplete force, but they can't form Voltron. It's up to Lisa to find Chip and convince him he's an important member of the team before the others are blown away by a Drule trap!
The Galaxy Alliance's home planets have become overcrowded, and a fleet of explorers has been sent to search for new planets to colonize. Along the way, they attract the attention of the evil Drule Empire, long engaged in an ongoing war against the Alliance, and the Drules proceed to interfere in the mission of the explorers and the colonists. Since the Voltron of Planet Arus was too far away to help the explorers, a totally new Voltron is constructed to battle the Drule threat.
