Season 1, Episode 1 Rags to Riches, pt. 1 Approximately 1,000 years ago "All systems green," the tactical officer stated in the liquid Selesian tongue, "Reactors and engines operating within nominal temperatures." "Good," the captain nodded the long cylindrical jaws which made up his head, "We shall proceed, then.  Take us out beyond the second moon, we don't want to inadvertently harm Selesia." "Confirmed," the pilot moved his long thin fingers across the control board, "ETA, ten minutes." "Engineering," the captain spoke into the comms, "What is the status of our...experiment?" "Everything is connected and appears to b

Season 1, Episode 2 Rags to Riches, pt. 2 The pirate gunship fled into deep space as quickly as its small single engine could propel it.  Had this pursuit taken place in an atmosphere, it would have left its pursuer behind long ago.  But, in the vacuum, there is, of course, almost no resistance.  Thus it was that its pursuer, the enormous starship Corvus, had no difficulty in keeping up. "They are still following us, I take it?" Captain Garrok of the pirate vessel asked his pilot. "Yes, Captain," the pilot consulted his console, "However, it appears their engines have slowly been losing power over the past

Season 1, Episode 3 Of Thieves and...Men The cluster of ships emerged from the blackness of deep space into the weak light of a nearby star.  Composed of more than forty vessels, the convoy possessed the numbers and firepower to repel any attack save a full assault force.  In spite of this, the pirates that swarmed outside of Core space had already attempted twice to hijack the transports, causing significant damage.  Thus it was with some relief that the captain leading the convoy had discovered the enormous starship Corvus limping her way towards civilized space.  In return for food and water, Captain Aaron Alistair had agreed to join up

"I already told you, feel free to try and throw it out the nearest airlock," Aaron snatched a bowl and allowed the dispenser to fill it with a dull grey slop, "Of course, you'll have to get past a Barriq warrior and a Shifter thief first." "Couldn't you talk to them?" Alara inquired, straddling the chair across from Aaron as he sat, "They have to know that if the Selesian ever gets loose, she will kill us all." "I'm sure they know it," Aaron agreed, spooning some of the sludge into his mouth,

Season 1, Episode 6 Enforced Hunger This was an empty, desolate area of space; the place between two arms of the galaxy.  The Corvus drifted slowly forward like a great white ghost, her engines barely serving to propel her.  For the first time in weeks, all was quiet, and the crew, though busy as ever, felt safe in this place where nothing lived and no patrols roamed. They did not see a battleship-sized shadow distantly following them, blotting out the stars. "Dakk?" Aaron called out questioningly as he stepped down into engineering, directly into a puddle of green coolant, "Oh, that's lovely.  What happened here?" "Hey, Cap," Dakk e
