Plot Outline:
"If the Commonwealth's High Guard had a weakness, it was this: Its officers were too competent, too caring, and too brave." -- Yin Man-Wei, The Rise and Fall of the Systems Commonwealth, CY 11942 We join the show for its first episode at the start of the war between the Systems Commonwealth and the Nietzschean fleets. Captain Dylan Hunt and his ship the Andromeda Ascendant try to flee the first attack to warn the Commonwealth of the Nietzschean attack. In his attempt to escape, the Andromeda and Captain Hunt are caught in the event horizon of a black hole and frozen in time for 300 years. The crew of the Eureka Maru with Captain Beka Valentine try to salvage the Andromeda to sell for a Nightsider's ransom. After the Andromeda is pulled free, Hunt is unfrozen and forced to defend his ship against the salvagers and the Nietzschean mercenaries lead by Tyr Anasazi.
