C3 VOLCANO
The new Liberator crew goes to Obsidian, seeking
a permanent power base. Dayna's father worked with a mann called Hower
who now leads there. The population of Obsidian consists of pacifists,
bred by the use of behavioral psychology. Only Hower and his son Bershar
retain aggressive instincts. They refuse to allow the crew to establish
a base and will not aide the Liberator in an attack by Servalan. Someone
from Obsidian has betrayed their pacifist tradition and summoned her.
Bershar is the traitor. He captures Dayna and Tarrant and gives their bracelets
to Servalan's commander, Mori, who the seizes the Liberator. He is defeated
but takes Orac and Cally with him when he returns to Obsidian. Horrified,
Hower kills his son and frees Dayna and Tarrant, who rescue Orac and Cally.
The crew returns to the Liberator. Once on board they discover why Obsidian
has been free of conquerors. There is a thermonuclear device buried in
the massive volcano covering the planet. True to his beliefs, Hower orders
the destruction of Obsidian when Servalan prepare to attack. Better death
then domination!
C4 DAWN OF THE GODS
The Liberator is being pulled off course. Orac
insists that everything is functioning properly. The ship is being drawn
into a black hole. Orac is fascinated by the unusual properties of this
black hole and wants to investigate. As the ships spirals out of
control, Avon tries to save himself by donning a spacesuit. Tarrant who
feels that everyone should die nobly together, stops him. They black out.
Regaining consciousness, the crew finds the ship undamaged but in an apparent
empty void. Vila is "volunteered" to investigate what is outside the ship.
He finds that the Liberator has landed on Crandor, an artificial world
created by Lord Thaarn, a figure out of Auron fairy tales. Thaaran has
constructed gravity generators that he uses to capture passing ships to
strip them of their herculanium. This adds more power to the generators
and with theses, Thaarn plans to conquer the galaxy. The Thaarn is a member
of an ancient race that visited Auron eons ago. He recognizes Cally as
an Auron and wants to make her his consort.
Avon and Tarrant are put to work making calculations for the generators.
Still onboard the Liberator, Orac foils all attempts to get it and dismantle
the ship. Cally tricks the Thaarn and the crew is able to escape Crandor.
