The Prince insisted that his androids be the best available and to this end authorised modifications to the "Zelda" bodyguard. As chance would have it Zelda ended up becoming self-aware.

It didn't stop there though, Zelda sought to rid the Galaxy of humanoids and in doing so stumbled across Earth...
