1.1 Premier

Written by: Rockne S. O'Bannon

Directed by: Andrew Prowse

Guest Cast: Kent McCord (Jack Crichton), Lani Tapu (Crais), Murray Bartlett (DK), Christine Stephen-Daly (Lt. Teeg)

While testing a theory in his experimental space vehicle, Farscape One, astronaut John Crichton is thrust through a wormhole in space and finds himself in the middle of a raging battle on the other side of the Universe. After accidentally causing another one-man ship's destruction, he is brought aboard Moya, a living ship serving as a Peacekeeper prison transport. Moya's escaped prisoners, Pa'u Zotoh Zhaan, Ka D'Argo and Dominar Rygel XVI, have taken command of the ship and StarBurst away from Captain Crais and his Command Carrier. One Peacekeeper Prowler is drawn with Moya through StarBurst and its pilot, Officer Aeryn Sun, is imprisoned on Moya with Crichton. Crichton helps Aeryn escape from captivity on Moya, and the two find their way to a nearby planet where Officer Sun awaits her commanding officer, Captain Crais. D'Argo lands to retrieve Crichton and Aeryn, but Crais arrives and accuses Crichton of killing his brother Tauvo, the pilot of the one-man craft Crichton scraped when he first arrived. When Officer Sun tries to defend Crichton, Crais deems her "Irreversibly Contaminated" and orders Crichton, D'Argo and Aeryn imprisoned. The three managed to escape and find their way back to Moya. Unable to StarBurst, Moya is a sitting duck as Crais aims his PK frag cannons at the defenseless Leviathan. With microts to spare, Crichton puts his theory to the test. With Aeryn Sun at the helm, Moya uses the planet's gravitational pull to increase her velocity and escapes from Crais' carrier, thus heading farther into the Uncharted Territories.

Guest Cast: Mary Mara (Lyneea), Cayde Tasker (Fostro), Boris Brkic (Commander Ryymax)

When a Peacekeeper tracking beacon is activated, Moya lands on the Earth-like planet Denea and submerges in a muddy bog to muffle the device's transmissions. Rygel is assigned to cut Moya's tendrills free of the beacon while Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo leave the ship in search of Clorium, a substance that will numb the intense paid caused by removing the PK beacon from Moya. As he searches for Clorium on the planet's surface, Crichton is discovered by a young boy, Fostro, and his mother, Lyneea. After Crichton convinces them of his peaceful intentions, they supply him with Clorium, but before he can return to Moya, the military arrives at Lyneea's farm - holding D'Argo in captivity. Young Fostro helps Crichton free D'Argo and they return to Moya with the Clorium. Thanks to Zhaan's ability to share pain, Rygel has managed to complete the removal of the Paddac Beacon. Her pain relieved by the Clorium, Moya launches back into space.


1.3 Exodus from Genesis

Written by: Ro Hume

Directed by: Brian Henson

Guest Cast: Damian de Montemas (Melkor), Jodie Dry (Kyona)

Moya becomes infested by Draks - giant space cockroaches intent on using the ship as a nest for their young. Higher temperatures aboard the ship cause Aeryn to suffer from Sebacean Heat Delirium. All attempts to bring the temperature to optimum levels fail and the Draks begin to create identical "replicants" of Moya's crew to defend their nest. The Queen Drak channels herself through Zhann and Crichton is able to communicate with her. An agreement is reached - to allow the Draks to complete the gestation period aboard Moya. While Moya's crew cares for ailing Aeryn in their quarters -- an area of the ship the Draks have agreed to keep habitable -- a Peacekeeper Marauder commando team lands on the ship. The arrival of the PK commandos leads the drak Queen to believe she has been betrayed. As she increases the ship's temperature, Rygel is sent to negotiate with the monarch. The PK commandos are struck down by the heat and are forced off the ship. The Draks complete the gestation cycle and leave Moya. The environmental settings return to normal and Aeryn recovers.


1.4 Throne for a Loss

Written by: Richard Manning

Directed by: Pino Amenta

Guest Cast: John Adam (Bekhesh), Jeremiah Tickell (Kyr)

Rygel masquerades as a powerful sovereign (complete with one of Moya's vital components in his "scepter") in order to impress a group of Tavleks boarding Moya for a bartering session. The Tavleks kidnap Rygel and take him to the planet surface, but leave behind one of their own men - and his gauntlet weapon. As Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo go to the surface in search of Rygel and the power crystal with which he absconded, Zhaan tries to help their wounded Tavlek prisoner over the effects of stimulant withdrawal. With help from the gauntlet, Crichton, Aeryn and D'Argo track down the Tavlek encampment, but Rygel is gone (and so is Moya's power crystal). As the gauntlet injects its last drops of stimulant into Crichton's arm, he finds Rygel in the hands of Tavlek leader Bekhesh. Crichton explains that the group has no riches to exchange for Rygel. Onboard Moya, Tavlek captive Kyr confirms this for his leader. Rygel is returned and Kyr is sent back to the planet surface. Moya is again underway - once Rygel can retrieve the power crystal from his internal "hiding place."

Written by: Babs Greyhosky

Directed by: Rowan Woods

Guest Cast: John Clayton (Verell), Lisa Hensley (Matala)

Responding to a ship in distress, Moya rescues two Ilanic passengers - Verell, a scientist, and his beautiful companion, Matala. Since Luxans and Ilanics are genetically related, D'Argo befriends them both. Meanwhile, after investigating the Ilanic ship, Crichton starts to experience temporal displacement - momentarily flashing forward in time. Matala's talents for seduction throw D'Argo off balance and he allies with her. Verell and Matala reveal their true mission to D'Argo - the field testing of a new weapon. Crichton continues to experience premonitions and tries to alter the future -- but no matter what course he follows, the results are disastrous. When Matala attacks her with a Scorvian Neural Stroke, Aeryn determines that their female guest is no Ilanic, but a genetically altered Scorvian spy. Crichton learns his temporal flashes are being caused by Verell's ultimate weapon - a minute particle of a black hole. Before Matala can rendezvous with an approaching Scorvian ship and hand over Verell's weapon. Crichton finally finds a course of action that does not end in total disaster.

Written by: David Wilks

Directed by: Rowan Woods

Guest Cast: Angie Milliken (Volmae), Tina Thomsen (Tanga), Ken Blackburn (Hybin)

In a fit of Luxan Hyper-Rage, D'argo leaves Moya for the surface of the planet Sykar. When the others land to search for him, they find a once technologically sophisticated civilization now hypnotically laboring in fields harvesting a single crop - Tannot root. D'Argo has found a home among the workers and does not wish to return to Moya. While on the planet surface, Rygel's proximity to an explosion convinces him that he is the subject of an assassination attempt. Aeryn takes him back to the ship, while Crichton and Zhaan stay behind to try to bring D'Argo home. As did D'Argo, Zhaan falls prey to the hypnotic effect of the Tannot, while Crichton is rendered immune - thanks to a worm inserted into his body by members of the naturally immune Sykaran resistance movement. Volmae, the leader of the Sykarans reveals the vast warehouse of Tannot root to Crichton - who notices Peacekeeper markings in the complex. Volmae asks Crichton to use Moya to transport her and a large supply of the root off the planet. On Moya, Aeryn discovers that Rygel himself was the cause of the explosion on the planet surface - due to a chemical reaction between the Tannot and his metabolism. Crichton, with help from the Sykaran resistance and Rygel's bodily excretions, helps the Sykarans break free of the effect of the tannot. By giving them the formula to turn Tannot into Chakan oil, and the schematics for the pulse riffle, the crew of Moya give the Sykarans a means of defense from the tyranny of the Peacekeepers.

The Sheyangs grow impatient and attack, but the Zelbinion's defense screens protect Moya. Gilina agrees to dismantle a defense screen from the Zelbinion for installation on Moya, but during the process, a Sheyang attacks. Crichton and Aeryn defeat the Sheyang and repel the Sheyang ship.

Maldis, wanting to pit Crichton against his worst enemy, transports Crais' consciousness to his realm and unleashes him against Crichton. Meanwhile the crews of Moya and the Command carrier investigate the msterious comatose conditions of Crichton and Crais' mortal forms. Zhaan trains with a local former priest Liko to develop her skills to face Maldis while Aeryn and D'Argo unsucessfully attempt to breach the barriers guarding Maldis' realm. Feeding on the violence, Maldis watches Crais pursue Crichton and masterfully manipulates them against one another. Crichton tries to convice Crais of his innocence, but Maldis conjures up images of Crais' brother Tauvo which only fuels Crais' rage. Working together, Zhaan and Liko manage to defeat Maldis, but at great cost - with Zhaan awakening the darkest part of herself - a darkness she worked hard to subdue in the Delvian Seek. Crichton and Crais return to their mortal bodies and Maldis' existence is dispersed.

Guest Cast: Sarah Burns (Kornata), Julian Garner (Namtar - Voice), Adrian Getley (Namtar - Movement).

Namtar, a genetic scientist, has devised a method of deriving star charts of a species' homeworld by examining a genetic sample of the species. Crichton, D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel submit to the examination, but Aeryn knows she can never return home. Namtar offers the charts in exchange for one of Pilot's arms and, thinking only of their chance to return home, D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel meet the askign price. While D'Argo, Zhaan and Rygel argue about whose home world will be Moya's first stop, Aeryn returns to Namtar with hopes of finding an outlying Sebacean settlement out of PK jurisdiction. Consumed by his own depraved experiments, Namtar injects Aeryn with a sample of Pilot's DNA and begins a frightening metamorphosis. Crichton learns from Namtar's "assistant," Kornata, that she was once the researcher and Namtar was but a lab animal. Using genetic science, Namtar has given himself the best traits of many species on his way to becoming "the perfect species." With Kornata's help, both Aeryn and Namtar are returned to their original forms. The star charts useless, Moya's crew is no closer to home than they were when they arrived.

Meanwhile, Pilot collapses over his console leading the crew to believe the particles are a virus. Upon analysis, Zhaan learns the strange particles are not a virus, but minute pieces of bio-mechanoid material sharing Moya's genetic signature. In order to find the source of the particles, the crew must play their parts with D'Argo andhope his mind will return to thoughts of the present. The crew learns the true cause of D'Argo's imprisonment - his brother-in-law killed his Sebacean wife, LoLaan, and framed him for the murder. When D'Argo's memory is restored, Crichton heads for the source of the particle explosion and finally discovers the truth behind the mysterious particles and the DRDs' overzealous behavior - Moya is pregnant. The particles were the catalyst - kept in check by the PK shield that D'Argo inadvertently shattered.
