Jovian Invaders

In the 21st century, a military force from Jupiter attacks the allied worlds of Earth, Mars, and Venus. The Allied World Forces use A.W. Meteorjets to battle the Jovejets of the Jovian Invaders. Captain Jax, a.k.a. Space Ace, battles the Jovians, recording 78 Jovejets shot down. Jax is called to headquarters for a top-secret mission. He’s surprised to discover he is to take a woman from A.W. Intelligence along with him on his next flight. Dinah Dean orders Jax to prepare his ship to launch at 2100 hours. He balks at the command, so she soothes him with compliments, and then informs him that she outranks him. Space Ace straightens up and takes Major Dean along. He spies a group of Jovejets, preparing to engage with them. Dean tells him to let the other Meteorjets handle the Jovian fighters. He begrudgingly obeys, watching as they follow a Jovian fighter intentionally crash into an A.W. base. The ship throws free what looks like an armored figure. They follow the Jovejet escort flight back to “Asteroid 13”. A group of Jovejets approach, and Space Ace’s lone fighter is outnumbered. Jax’s ship takes a hit, and he uses a lake to land the craft. Dean, leading Jax, goes in search of a factory on the asteroid. They find a Jovian guard on duty. Jax dispatches the guard with a rock to its head. Dean finds a factory building robots to send on suicide missions aboard the Jovejets. Another Jovian brags about the plans to send the robot suicide bombers against the A.W. asteroid settlements in atom-bomb equipped Jovejets, gradually moving toward Earth. Jax beans the Jovian with a robot part, knocking it unconscious. Back at A.W. headquarters on Earth, the A.W. leader bemoans the fact Jax and Dean have gone missing. The Jovian commander orders the robots into the Jovejets. Jax tells Dean to get into an empty robot shell. They surreptitiously commandeer one of the Jovejets. Jax uses the communicator on the ship to warn A.W. forces. The A.W. Meteorjets wipe out the Jovejets. As they head for Earth, Dean orders Jax to kiss her. An abuse of power to which the Ace of Space happily complies.
