Synopsis:

Corsair lands on Earth following the trail of a terrorist commando that kidnapped Lilandra and slaughtered most of the ministers of the Shi’ar grand council. He encounters Cyclops and Storm, and warns them about a fast battle force that's on its way to Earth led by chancellor Araki and admiral of the fleet lord Samedar, to rescue Lilandra at any cost. The Shi’ar abducts the X-Men to explain them the situation and ask for their help to seek Lilandra. Back on Earth, while searching, they’re attacked by a Shi’ar named Deathbird (Lilandra’s sister), Colossus is deadly injured in battle and Xavier is kidnapped. Deathbird turns out to be secretly working with lord Samedar, allied with the alien parasites called the Brood and renegade members of the imperial guard, to become the new empress of the Shi’ar and destroy the X-Men, the Starjammers and planet Earth. When Samedar is unveiled as traitor, the communication frequencies are jammed, leaving Lilandra unable to communicate with chancellor Araki, who is murdered by Samedar. Xavier tries to establish telepathic communication, but while concentrating he discovers an alien presence within him. He tries to probe it, but this merely causes him to call out in agony, and falls into a coma. Lilandra finally manages to broadcast that she is safe and the danger in Earth is over with the defeat of Deathbird and Samedar. The X-Men rest, and while Xavier remains comatose, they watch on TV how Senator Kelly demonizes the X-Men on a talk show. Kelly promises that the US government will investigate mutants, and Moira points out that Xavier worked with the FBI, and thus the government already has files of several mutants. Trying to clean their names, using Wolverine and Carol’s military uniforms, ranks and IDs, they stumble with Rogue, the one that stole Carol’s powers and she recognizes her, so they fight. After defeating Mystique and Rogue, Carol successfully retrieves all the mutants’ information from the database. After an inner struggle, Xavier wakes up. The X-Men go to a farewell banquet onboard the Shi’ar flagship, but suddenly Lilandra goes catatonic and Deathbird appears announcing herself the new empress, and the Brood takes the X-Men as "vessels"** to the Brood city. Wolverine’s implanted embryo starts to hatch, he fights it and thanks to his healing factor he kills the embryo and saves the others by entering the Brood city and freeing them one by one, killing the Brood on his way until he nearly gets to the Queen and they’re all transported back to the Shi’ar flagship to prevent them from killing her. The Brood later attempt to get the X-Men back, since they still had the embryos inside, but as they fight, Carol feels weird, the Brood did something to her in their lab. She transforms into something much more than human, and destroys all the surrounding Brood ships. She calls herself Binary. Moments later, she blasts off into space opening a big hole after Wolverine reveals they all still have the Brood embryos inside and the X-Men are suddenly forced to deal with explosive decompression, while Binary flies over to the Brood city to make them pay.

* Ms. Marvel, a former member of The Avengers who lost all her memories and powers to a mutant named Rogue. She stays as a normal person with the X-Men for a while; she believes Xavier can help her to get her powers and memory back.

** They implant an embryo in the host, and when it hatches the host transforms into a Brood. In the process, the host experiences weird dreams from which it can´t escape as long as the embryo absorbs the genetic potential and abilities of the host to pass on to its progeny. If the embryo process is interrupted, it stays inside the body until it can start the process again.

Side Note: Rogue first appeared in Avengers’ annual #10, as a member of Mystique’s Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. She was found by Mystique in a forest after running away from home scared by her powers, which turned her boyfriend Cody comatose in their first kiss. In the battle against The Avengers, Rogue absorbed Ms. Marvel’s powers and memories, sticking with them permanently, which started an inner struggle within’ her personality and Ms. Marvel’s. It is yet unknown why Rogue kept those powers for life, it was never explained, though she claims later in desperation it was an accident since her powers were out of control.
