The story tells of a series of invasion that befell Earth starting in
3195, as the universe unexpectedly starts to collapse on itself and the
surviving species rush toward the worlds who are still unaffected by the
phenomenon to delay their extinction. The Betelgeusians were the second of a wave of invaders that attacked Earth, arriving in 3241, as a migration fleet of 100 000 spaceships fleeing their homeworld's destruction. They were defeated by mold and spores which attacked the softr skin under their shells. They nevertheless reduces the Earth population to 2 billions people.
