“Slipfighter the Dogs of War” is episode six of season three of Andromeda.
The Andromeda Ascendant gets hit by the shockwave from a supernova. Analysis of the explosion reveals that it was created by a nova bomb. Trance gets all upset about it, saying no-one should have the power to extinguish stars (even though I think the Andromeda has).
The discover that is was done by a rogue planet (a rogue regime, not a planet unattached to any solar system) called Moloch. Dylan wants to destroy the reactor so that they can’t build any more bombs, but doesn’t get the go-ahead to do it legitimately from the new Commonwealth.
So, they go in using slipfighters to destroy a plant capable of making weapons of mass destruction on a planet named after a Middle Eastern deity, whose people look Middle Eastern, and which is ruled by a dictator. Was someone trying to make a point?
Season three’s episodes don’t seem as good.
