What Season 1 of Andromeda

Andromeda is set thousands of years in the future, in the Commonwealth of Systems, a utopian society that has brought peace to three galaxies. Captain Dylan Hunt commands the ship Andromeda Ascendant, whose artificial intelligence, Rommie, shares the ship's name. The Nietzschean rebellion leaves the ship disabled in a surprise attack, and Hunt orders the crew to abandon it. After being frozen in time, Hunt joins the crew of the Eureka Meru to recover the ship and restore the old order. The Nietzschean Tyr Anasazi tries to seize control, and together with Beka Valentine and Harper, he completes a group of characters driven by their own ambitions and loyalties.
