Cossack is all excited about Planet Oran, which has given the Alliance notice that it is pulling out. He tells Zarkon that now is the time to swoop in and take over, given the resources they could use on the planet for their own evil deeds. Cossack explains how the ruling general on Oran, Kruger, has built up such a defense system, he doesn't need the Alliance or Voltron to protect him. Zarkon sends Cossack off to capture the planet for him.
