History
The War in Space
The leader of the Messiah 13 Third Planet of Yomi Aliens, Commander Hell hailed from Messiah 13, the third planet in the Yomi solar system. With their planet on the brink of its demise, Commander Hell led his people to Earth, which he intended on claiming for himself. As his forces attacked Earth, Commander Hell stationed his own warship, the Daimakan, on Venus to serve as the Messiah 13 Third Planet of Yomi Aliens' base.
As the Gohten traveled to Venus in a bid to thwart the invasion, the aliens abducted Jun Takigawa, a member of the UN Space Federation. Shortly thereafter, Commander Hell contacted the Gohten to dissuade them from their mission, holding Jun hostage. Undeterred, the Gohten proceeded with its mission and its crew later boarded the Daimakan to rescue Jun and find a means to destroy the vessel. Though most of the crew were killed by the aliens, Koji Miyoshi located Commander Hell and the Space Beastman who held Jun hostage. Jun and Koji were thrown into a cell, though the duo were able to escape and returned to the Gohten. Commander Hell then launched the Daimakan, which engaged the Gohten in a lengthy dogfight over the surface of Venus. Commander Hell and the Daimakan eventually downed the Gohten, which all but assured his victory. However, the crew of the Gohten revealed one last surprise - that the drill of the vessel was detachable, and it housed the powerful Ether Bomb. Jun's father, Dr. Masato Takigawa, proceeded to pilot the drill directly into the hull of the Daimakan before detonating the bomb, obliterating the ship, killing Commander Hell, and effectively ending the threat of the Messiah 13 Third Planet of Yomi Aliens.
