The planet Karthos broke away from the rest of human civilization centuries ago, instituting a fascist government and breeding program.  By the 29th century, native Karthosians stood nearly 3 meters tall.  Now, by sheer luck, the Karthosian star system happens to lie directly between the industrial-resource-producing colony worlds on one side of the spiral arm and the sustainance-producing core worlds on the other.  Karthos has seized this opportunity by blockading all nearby shipping lanes through interstellar space, and intends to rule civilization by bringing it to its knees. Its location along interstellar trade routes wasn't the only stroke of luck the Karthosians happened upon.

Hundreds of millennia ago, Karthos was inhabited by a long-gone alien civilization.  Few artifacts remain from those earlier inhabitants, but one artifact that was recovered was a 10 centimeter long cylinder that could convert biological energy into propulsion, detection, or devastating weaponry.  Karthosian scientists attached a club handle to this artifact, but soon discovered that the amount of biological energy it required to operate would wear out a normal person in seconds.  They wanted to "boost" the energy of its wielder with fusion reactors.  Thus, they acquired a "volunteer" named Strangen and replaced all of his body (save his central nervous system) with a fusion-powered robotic body.

Strangen of Karthos, dubbed the Starlane Destroyer, is now assigned against his will — with veiled threats to the safety of his old love Dorsa should he disobey — to destroy any spacecraft that try to run past the Karthosian blockade.
