Starring: Kevin Conway
Summary: Deep space. A small planetoid. The site of an intergalactic summit
between two warring worlds. Diplomats from both Earth and Dregocia, a
distant planet, are dispatched to the neutral ground to work out a peace agreement. We quickly come to learn that Dregocians are human as well, but a genetically-engineered race, kept on Dregocia toDeep space. A small planetoid. The site of an intergalactic summit
between two warring worlds. Diplomats from both Earth and Dregocia, a
distant planet, are dispatched to the neutral ground to work out a peace
agreement. We quickly come to learn that Dregocians are human as well, but
a genetically-engineered race, kept on Dregocia to mine Trion ore,
shipping it back to Earth to run its power plants. Now, not unlike England
and its colonies, Dregocians demand their freedom and autonomy from
Earth. But when a shuttle carrying the Dregocian delegation to the summit
site malfunctions and crashes, apparently due to sabotage, things quickly
deteriorate. The delegation from Earth, already at the summit facility,
watch in horror as the crash of the shuttle sparks an exchange that results
in the mutual destruction of both the Earth and Dregocian flagships,
orbiting the planetoid. This sets in motion a doomsday process, that if
allowed to proceed will result in the extinction of humans, Earth-born and
Dregocian alike. Kate Woods (Marcia Cross), the Earth' s senior surviving
diplomatic representative, can save the world, but only if she can
re-establish contact with Earth. In order to do that, she must overcome
some serious obstacles. She must resist the hawkish instincts of her
military adviser, Col. Wallis Thurman (John Spencer) and her own hatred
of the race that killed her husband. And she must deal with a determined
Dregg rival, Prosser (Michael Ironside), who survived the crash and is
willing to let his people perish rather than continue to be ruled by Earth. As
the clock ticks, Kate and Prosser negotiate to the brink of annihilation,
hoping to establish enough trust to save both civilizations. But can a trust
so fragile survive the efforts of those on both sides who would rather see
war continue than relations improve? And are Kate and the others willing
to pay the price that might be required to save the world?… Expand
