Tara

Tara, along with her friends Malo and Robin, are unjustly forced into exile from Earth, so they take refuge in Phantom Haven on Venus, the headquarters of Haneesh and his “Brotherhood of Space.” Although they are wanted by the authorities as space pirates, they are unofficially recognized as heroic Robin Hood-types, battling injustice and corruption from the likes of Daro Dallas of Mars and Kharlsen of Jupiter. The people, especially on Earth, begin to recognize her as their champion. Tara and her swashbuckling cohort, Robin, were both fine sword fighters, and carried Atom Swords, which could fire a short blast of atomic energy from the tip. Tara also demonstrated leadership skills, tactical cunning and the ability to hypnotize opponents. Malo was a master of the whip. The three of them traveled throughout the solar system and beyond in the Space Rover.
