An episode about an extraordinary pair of brothers who go on to write the book that the Republican Fleet will follow for the next hundred years: Dutch versus Bradley Warner.
Just because two men were brought together to help form an important institution, it doesn’t mean that they liked each other. And with Sims and MacGregor, who privately threatened bodily harm to one another, this was definitely the case. And yet, they succeeded at their task, building the Republican Fleet to protect the young Unified Republic of Stars.
This week, we do our very first in the Rivalries sub-series and show just how different life in the colonies could be versus life on Earth. In some ways it’s good, and freeing. But, in other ways… not so much.
The NOVA has done its job and protects the Republic, bringing about the first true period of peace and stability the unified planets had ever known. We also wrap up the stories of several characters we’ve been following throughout.
This week, Earth invades, yet again. But Dutch Warner, at a great cost to the Republic stops the invasion in its tracks before a single boot hits the ground.
