Preface:

It is the year 2368.  On Earth, war is a distant memory of years gone by as the human race has united in peace.  Over the course of the last 200 years Earth has spread its mission of a utopian existence to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, but not all the races they have encountered have welcomed humans with open arms.

The Vrill, a frightening race of unknown origin now threatens to destroy Earth and wipe out the human race.  For many years, humans have ignored the threat as it has always been ‘too far from our solar system to concern us.’  But the politicians were wrong, and now the Vrill threat is creeping ever-closer to Earth.  Only one organization stands between them and total domination: Dark Operations.  The ultra secret division of the United Earth Alliance charged with the mission of defending the human race at all costs.

Synopsis:

“Dark Operations; A Dark Odyssey Begins” is the pilot episode of a series that will follow the epic journey of Captain Royce McGregor and his brave crew as they are recruited by Dark Ops for a mission almost certain to take their lives.  Following the destruction of his ship, and the death of most of his crew, Capt McGregor and his fellow survivors find themselves pulled in to a society that the outside world doesn’t even know exists. Led by the highly decorated Admiral John Winston Cross, Dark Operations sits as Earth’s only hope for survival against the increasing Vrill threat.  After the strong-arm recruitment by the Admiral, Capt McGregor and his crew are trained for battle and given Dark Operations’ newest flag ship.  The USS Armstrong is a powerful warship built to survive the long engagement that her crew will face against the Vrill.  As our pilot episode closes, Captain McGregor and his crew leave Dark Ops Head Quarters and begin their mission of genocide.  Their goal: To neutralize the Vrill threat and return home. 

Future Episodes:

At this time, several other episodes have been written that follow the pilot episode, and a timeline covering the span of the entire series is also complete.  The Captain will lead his crew towards an uncertain destiny against a terrifying enemy throughout the series, however “Dark Operations” will not only tell its epic 70 year story, but will also tackle many social issues that sit at the forefront of our mind today including spousal abuse, drug addiction, and assisted suicide just to name a few.
