Although this series is credited as being a Gene Roddenberry production, he passed away in 1991. His wife Majel is the principle producer of the series.
The series was designed by him before his death however it was only after his death that production actually began on the series.
The premise is that planets of three galaxies have formed the 'Systems Commonwealth' to maitain order and security.
When a colony of Neitzscheans are attacked by the Magog and the Commonwealth do not help sufficiently, the Neitzscheans go about destroying the Commonwealth in revenge.
During the break-up, the star ship Andromeda Ascendant is involved in an incident which renders everyone unconscious for a couple of centuries.
When they regain consciousness, they discover that the galaxies are now in a state of turmoil. Dylan sets out with his crew to return the galaxies to some sort of normality.
The ship had its own persona and appeared in three forms, on screen, as a hologram and as a robot, all played by the same actoress.
There were five series in total, with the fifth series being different from the others. Whereas in the first four series, the Andromeda flew from planet to planet sorting out matters of galactic
importance, in the fifth, they were stuck on a planet called Seefra. They could not slipstream their way away from the planet. Planets were all connected via a slipstream, a wormhole between planets. Seefra, later to be discovered as Tarn-Vedra, where Dylan was born, had cut itself off from other planets. They
reached the planet by going through the Route of Ages when they attempted to escape the 'Magog Worldship'. There have been no films produced in connection with the films yet. |
