The story

On September 29, 1979, the Interstellar Exploration Agency launches a Japanese rocket ship, the JX-1 Hawk, into space on a nine-month journey to investigate Saturn. At its conclusion, however, the crew is given a new mission after scientists discover that a runaway star, which the International Astronomical Union nicknamed "Gorath", is somehow running amok. Upon encountering and while investigating Gorath's rapid movement through the Solar System, the JX-1 Hawk crew discover that it is smaller than Earth, yet has 6,000 times its gravity.
