"How far would you go for your family? How far would you go for the people you love?" 

In a far-flung future, Earth has finally united in peace, banned its criminal element to the outer reaches, and spread goodwill outward into the galaxy. After centuries of peace and successful first contacts, the United Earth Alliance is ill suited to encounter a more hostile species… 

The pride of the UEA fleet, the USS Armstrong is a science and exploration vessel with only defensive armament. Captain Royce McGregor (Royce Essig), their jolly leader and his wife Angela (Staci Jones), the ship’s doctor, are looking forward to retirement when they receive a distress call from Gorin (Mitchell Bentley) of the pirate ship Scimitar. 

McGregor's world is turned upside down in the blink of an eye… and he is seen as the perfect choice for a secret mission. He and his crew are recruited by Dark Operations, the ultra-secret military division of the United Earth Alliance charged with the task of protecting the citizens of utopian Earth.

In the series' pilot episode, “A Dark Odyssey Begins," witness the crew of the USS Armstrong set off on their way to an uncertain destiny... Their mission: Destroy the evil race known as The Vrill before they wipe out humanity!

The Ultimate Fight for Survival is About to Begin... One Ship… One Crew… One Destiny.

A serial killer is stalking quiet central Pennsylvania... On the surface the race seems to be on between the F.B.I. and a P.I. to figure out who the killer is... or is it something more sinister than either suspect?
