Refugee Kryptonian Karsta Wor-Ul recalled how she and a number of other Kryptonian Stellar Navy soldiers deserted the military after ordered to return to Krypton. There was considerable anti-Kryptonian sentiment in that part of the galaxy after years of Kryptonian military expansionism. Karsta and her fellow deserters were on Rockmoon, which orbits a gas giant in an orange-sun system, when Almeraci soldiers in powered armor attacked them. One of the soldiers demanded: "Renegade Kryptonians! We demand your immediate surrender -- in the name of Maximec of Almerac!"
There were about 35 renegade Kryptonians left by that time. As Karsta soon realized, "the Almeraci clamp squad hadn't come alone. They had half a battle flight backing them up." Fellow Kryptonian renegades Kev-Dal and Doro-Sul died in this Almeraci attack before Karsta and the others were able to flee from Maximec's forces.
Maximec is no doubt an ancestor of the famous Princess Maxima of Almerac, a recurrent Superman foe.
