== Description ==
The front cover of the booklet features artwork of Chamon as well as the Interstellar Starfighter being hurled from the huge pod of a plant from Zotax; this same plant is featured in the 1997 commercial for UFO and Fright Knights.Lego Fright Knights vs UFO Commercial
Page 2 provides descriptions of UFO's Zotaxian characters, specifically Chamon, the Officer, and the Overlord. There are minor differences between different translations of the booklet; for example, the Officer is described in the German version as a super-strategist who fights fearlessly for justice, and described in the English version as a soldier prepared to oversee offense and defense against hostile alien lifeforms. Page 3 details further lore about Chamon's telekinetic powers, the nature of planet Zotax, the nearby lava planet Vulcox (only named in the German version), and Chamon's mission to fly through a black hole and travel to another universe. However, page 3's map contradicts the comic and UFO/Fright Knights commercial by putting Zotax and Vulcox within the same universe.
Pages 4 and 5 are a short comic. According to the English version, Chamon leads a Zotaxian rebellion against the evil Emperor Zatam; after a major victory, they are pursued by imperial forces, and Chamon and the Officer flee in the Interstellar Starfighter to the black hole, promising to return and free Zotax someday. The storyline differs in the German version, which instead states that Chamon is leading a rescue operation after receiving a call for help from Vulcox. The Interstellar Starfighter is catapulted into space by the Zotax plant pod, passes through the black hole, and emerges in the universe containing Earth. The comic ends on a cliffhanger as the ship approaches planet Vulcox and readings report life on the planet. These events once again line up with the UFO/Fright Knights commercial.
Page 6 shows the Zotaxian alphabet and a cypher to translate to the booklet's language; additional characters are included for the Hungarian alphabet.
Page 7 advertises the sets in the UFO theme.
In the English and Hungarian versions, the back cover illustrates the Interstellar Starfighter flying towards Vulcox and provides a prompt for readers to submit artwork depicting the lifeforms detected on Vulcox for a chance to win a UFO set (6900 Cyber Saucer in the English version, 6915 Warp Wing-Fighter in the Hungarian version). The German version instead has a contest to win astronaut training at the Euro Space Center.
