Awakening after 1,200 years in suspended animation Durham Red found herself worshipped by the mutants as Saint Scarlet. Persecuted by the human iconoclasts, the mutants entreated her to lead them in a galaxy-spanning holy war against mankind, but Red refused the responsibility. Instead, together with her iconoclast lover Godolkin and follower Judas Harrow, she entered the mysterious region of space known as the Vermin Stars to free the physchically powerful mutant called the Offspring to stop the war by destroying both mutant and human armies, but the Offspring betrayed her and released a pathogen that would exterminate mankind forever…
