In the Bandor republic, years of bloody warfare between the Bandor military and a rival nation have finally come to an end with the signing of a peace treaty. But the peace is soon threatened by a small group of rouge Bandor military officers who feel the treaty would deny their side a strategic victory. Soon after the signing, a mutiny onboard a military vessel sends it crashing into the uninhabited planet Davidof. Onboard the vessel, Major Tanya holds "ASH," a devastating weapon with the ability to wipe out all life on a planet with the push of a button. If the rouge military faction gets their hands on ASH, the peace treaty will certainly end and the Bandor republic will plunge back into war. Unable to trust his own military, the Bandor president secretly hires Joe and his team of "Crushers" to go to Davidof, where they are tasked with rescuing Tanya and recovering ASH before the rouge military units can get to it.
