Space Hunters

"Space, the final frontier....for bounty hunting. The year is 2120. Let me give you a little history lesson in what's happened. In 2010 the Ultimate Alliance of Evil was formed, or UAE for short. It included Parvo, the Admiral, Ross Dole, Storm, Havoc, you name it. On June 4, 2010, the UAE attacked Washington D.C., killing many civilians and government officials, including the President. Every Rover and Strayer team was called into action and the Battle of Washington D.C. raged for over 3 days. Many on both sides lost their lives. The fighting ended on June 8 when many of the survivors surrendered. Storm, Havoc, the Admiral, and several others were executed on the spot by government troops. Parvo was found already dead. In August that same year, the Groomer attacked New York City with what was left of the UAE. Fortunatly the cost was much less in property and lives. A massive funeral was held for all those who were killed and the new President announced a proposal for a planetary union of sorts. Most of the countries agreed and the Terran Federation was born in 2015. In the same year, the President acknowledged all the work the Rovers had done and in thanks every canine and feline on the planet was made a sapien and given full citizen status. Thanks to the Master's schematics on the Space Rover, space travel became possible and our first colony on Mars was founded in 2022. Our colony on Alpha Centauri was later founded in 2046 and we moved rapidly outward. Eventually we encountered aliens and made friendly relations with them. Now it is the year 2120 and humanity is propsering in the cosmos. But crime hasn't stopped and that is where we fit into this little universe. Believe it or not we're still bounty hunting."

A sleek looking space ship warps through space. This is the S.S. Bounty Bagger. On the bridge Outlaw sits in the captains chair. Wesley at the engineering console, Silver at helm, Beowulf at weapons and Saphire at communications. Saphire turns to Outlaw.

"We are getting a rather fuzzy transmission from the colony on Beta Epsilon."

"Put it through."

The main screen turns on to a fuzzy but discernable image of a man in his 50's.

"Maddogs! This is Govorner Simon Thomas! We have just been hit by raiders. The Arm of Parvo."

"We've been after them for several months." says Outlaw "Thanks for the tip governor. Out."

Screen goes blank

"Saphire, contact the nearest starship to help the colony. Silver, let's go after those raiders."

"Setting a course."

After a while they come in the Beta Epsilon system.

"Got 'em." says Beowulf "They just went around a moon of the 5th planet."

"Raise shields, arm weapons."

"They've spotted us!"

The ship vibrates from a hit.

"Aim for their shields and weapons."

The ships is hit again and sparks erupt from a ceiling panel.

"Got 'em! They're disabled."

"Lock tractor beam and let's bring 'em in."

"Yes sir."

Several hours later, Govorner Thomas is on the screen.

"Thanks again for your help Maddogs. The T.F.S. Hercules came to ou assistance and you have brought our belongings back."

"No problem Mr. Thomas."

Screen goes blank.

"Silver, set course for Rigel IV."

"Course set."

"Engage."
