Crankie was taken to the penal planet Walmer, to the top security penitentiary Hellcatrazz, where he was sentenced to stay for life. He met with the Director of the penitentiary as well as some important inmates.

Crankie began planning on how to make Hellkatrazz and the whole planet Walmer into a thriving and financially viable business, and after meeting with the Galactic Council, he was permitted to put his plans into place. Crankie set out on a daring escapade to make his plans succeed and called in the help of Marood Hubool from the planet Xanatanka.

After many devious plans and much wrangling, his plans were put into action. Crankie finally made contact with his friends from Earth, who were managing his businesses during his absence.

Together they came up with some weird ideas, and some of those led to battles throughout the Milky Way, and Hesny galaxies. Crankie finally identified the rogues who preyed on space miners and, using his super fast ship, the Solar Plexus, he destroyed the killers in a gruesome way.

Crankie made deals with the Pleasure Lords of Barcator, and after many confrontations, he managed to unite the Heshny galaxy. A grand plan by the Valgonarians to invade the Heshny galaxy was uncovered, and a spy nest within the galaxy was eventually destroyed.

What Crankie and the whole Galactic Council were unaware of, was that the Dark Force had awoken and was setting its plans into motion, influencing the rebellious galaxies to prepare for full-scale war. The Emperor of the Milky Way became aware of the Dark Force's schemes and he in turn communicated with Crankie.

Dark days lay ahead for the united galaxies. .
