Fognon-6 was the sixth and final iteration of the massive Fognon series of power stations designed by Boltimere Fognon and used by the Gothtek corporation. In its advanced age it fell into a state of constant disrepair and was eventually abandoned by its organic crew, leaving the robots behind for cost-effectiveness. Only one of them, a cruel taskmaster named Yark, was aware that the station had become a financial drain on the corporation and was scheduled to be compacted into scrap metal.
When the other robots - Gax, Nonk, Shorpy, B.B., and Gricks - learned of this plan, they assembled their own spaceship from scratch and escaped the station a moment before it was crushed to the thickness of a sheet of paper.
