Storyline

In the third century of the second calendar, a corrupt galactic federation, with Earth at its center, drugs its billions of citizens into placid submission. A rebel named Roj Blake, who once tried to organize a resistance group to overthrow this regime, was caught and divested of his memories. But Blake's revolutionary spirit is revived when he witnesses a mass slaughter by police that is covered up by the federation officials. He escapes exile on board a prison spaceship and, together with a lovable band of outlaws, takes over a vacant alien space cruiser of awesome drive capability. Naming their new ship as "The Liberator", Blake and his group travel the Milky Way to seek any opportunity to undermine the evil federation. Written by Kevin McCorry <mmccorry@nb.sympatico.ca>

Trivia

Creator Terry Nation pitched the show to BBC executives off the cuff, having made no notes or outlines. He started talking about The Dirty Dozen in space, and made up the rest as he went along. See more »

Crazy Credits

SPOILER! The final episode ends with a lone Avon, surrounded by Federation
soldiers, holding a blaster-type rifle and smiling a devious smile. The
program then cuts to the end titles VISUALLY, but several "shots" are heard
over the credits before the theme music starts. See more »
