Peace Station: The Beginning
How it all began, and why.
Pilot Episode: The Gathering
The Peace Station goes online. First ambassadors arrive on the station. The Bacterian Empire's choice for representative causes commotion as he is revealed to be none other than Paavo Bakteeri, architect of the First Bacterian War.
Season 1: Empires Divided
The Times, They Are A-Changin'
The episode introduces some of the main characters and shows the station personnel take on their first real diplomatic disputes etc. Also more episodes need to be named after Bob Dylan songs!
The Spirit Walker
A powerful, mysterious telepath visits the Station and torments the Bacterian Ambassador & causes disbelief. Meanwhile, it is decided the original design of the station be supplemented with a series of extra sections, entitled the Hub City. Construction begins.
Slave of Love
Mad Gigerdi befriends a female Gigerdian "exotic dancer", who steals his weapon and ID's. As Mad goes out to look for her around the station, he finds out that the dancer, named Lorna, works for a strange "lizard pimp" who set up shop in one of the newly constructed Hub City modules. Lorna is tasked to seduce or drug high-ranking diplomats, and then steal their belongins for her boss. When Mad Gigerdi learns of this, he attempts to buy Lorna free from the "lizard pimp", but the pimp won't allow it, and thus a firefight ensues. Kyle also somehow ends up in the bar owned by the lizard pimp during the firefight, and kills the pimp in a duel. After the incident, Lorna goes safely back home.
???
New versions of the Gigerdi Fighter are brought to supplement the defence of the Peace Station. The Hemmoians and Gigerdians elect to send fighter escorts for civilian craft travelling in the area due to increased piracy. A strange signal is picked up from the planet that the Peace Station orbits, and K'ags Oiduts along with the two Gigerdian ambassadors are sent down to investigate. The signal comes from an old Orcish mining outpost, where the group finds the Jääp Jääp - creatures. At first, some of the creatures attack the group, but the ambassadors befriend one of the creatures and later on even talk to a Jääp Jääp pack leader of some sort.
To See the Untamed Lands
A new type of exploration vessel is suggested to be constructed by the GF and support from other galactic powers is requested. None of them are interested and the project goes on hold.
A Rare Delicacy
Tensions rise between the UFP and Folan ambassadors as the Folan empire demands several systems from UFP because of the damage caused by their recent war. For Folans this was merely a diversion to frame the UFP ambassador for the murder of the Folan ambassador’s attaché, both to get the systems they demand(which includes Den Kylek’s homesystem) with general support and to eliminate the current UFP ambassador.
Unwise Contact
Worlds belonging to galactic power known as the "Dominion" is found. Later a diplomatic connection is established and a Dominion representative is called to the Peace Station. However, they begin to demand several systems to them, and since none of their ridiculous demands are met they leave in anger, promising to come back later. One of them, however, stays behind.
Revelations
A Gigerdian colonel arrives to the station with additional security personnel and Mad Gigerdi is called back home to visit the emperor himself. The Gigerdian colonel dislikes Kyle, but reasons for it are left in the dark for now. Kyle also tries to settle an agreement between two rivaling dock workers' associations over standard working hours, but unfortunately it all ends in a riot. Kyle also follows a strange man, who steals a guard's weapon during the riot, and flees. As Kyle confronts the man in the docking area, he violently attacks Kyle, and turns out to be a shapeshifter. After a futile fight, Kyle has to blow the aggressive alien out of the airlock and order the station's defenses to fire upon the creature. Later, the body of the impersonated dock worker is found from a cargo hold.
Meanwhile, Mad Gigerdi meets Emperor Ogaitinsha, and learns of his relation to him. Kyle and Kwinda meet. The station's security attempts to find remains of the shapeshifter, but unfortunately no evidence can be found. The only one willing to believe Kyle is the Hemmoian ambassador, K'ags Oiduts.
By All Means Necessary (part 1)
The Hemmoians and the Bacterians finalize an agreement on the additional Bacterian security troops on the station. Paavo Bakteeri engages in a duel of words with the Gigerdian ambassadors over an ulterior motive for the Bacterian security troops. Paavo Bakteeri admits to Kyle, unofficially, that the true meaning behind the additional Bacterian security personnel is to just gain an upper hand on the politics inside the station. Kwinda and Kyle become even more intimate.
Kyle and Mad Gigerdi discuss the incident with the shapeshifter. Also, another pair of shapeshifters somehow arrive to the station, and assume the identities of the Hemmoian ambassador, K'ags Oiduts and a dock worker. Mad meets the impostor Oiduts, who behaves very strangely. Meanwhile, Kyle is notified of Oiduts' death in the lower decks. It now becomes apparent, that there's obviously two copies of K'ags Oiduts on the station. The station security mobilizes itself for an operation to catch the impostor.
By All Means Necessary (part 2)
The security searches for the shapeshifter impersonating K'ags Oiduts all over the station, and meanwhile a large group of shapeshifters somehow manage to take over the reactor compartment of the station. A battle ensues between the station's security and the shapeshifters, while the station experiences short power failures due to the fighting taking place in the reactor. As the fighting calms down, a human scientist arrives to the station to brief the ambassadors of their enemy: the shapeshifters are powerful creatures, but they have to change back to their liquid form every 16 hours. Discovering this weakness, the station security lure the shapeshifters into a large airlock, and then space them as they change into their liquid form.
As the battle with the shape shifters is over, a huge clean up operation ensues. The human scientist briefs the galactic powers even further about the origin of the shapeshifters, and the Dominion is mentioned. Another Hemmoian Ambassador is sent to the station, Votek N'reete. Also, Mad Gigerdi is briefed about the Gigerdian Government's opinion concerning Kyle Gigerdi. He is not trusted by the powers that be.
Power or Trust
A bounty hunter arrives at the station who’s looking Mad’s and Kyle’s old friend, no other than Den Kylek. The mysterious warrant for his arrest makes them investigate the matter while at the same time trying to protect their friend at all costs. Given possibilities for more power the bounty hunter, and moreover his masters, want Mad and Kyle betray their friend.
Cultural Sabotage
Gigerdius comes onboard the Peace Station to negotiate for opening trade relations with one of minor powers near their space. An unsuspected disgrace made upon the race’s ambassador by one of the crew causes hostilities. As this kind of disgrace is punishable by death on their world and the crew’s refusal to turn over the crewmember, they send their fleets in an attempt to disable to station. While posing no threat to the station’s security it would create unnecessary bloodshed. As Gigerdius and the rest of the GA delegation realize that this was apparently caused by some third party they start to investigate and repair the broken relations.
Give Yourself To the Light
A doomsday cult founder arrives at the Peace Station and starts preaching about the coming of "Lightness" that will destroy everything evil in its path. The station personnel attempt to find a way to get him off the station before he starts causing trouble. Before they can do that, he manages to cause several troubling events and fights at the station.
Shit Happens
A group of human cyborgs who call themselves "the Jaakkos" attack the station. Votek N'reete is wasted. Damn, the life expectancy of Hemmoian ambassadors just isn't very high.
Klet Otoe makes ambassador at the end of this episode?
Divided Loyalty
Following political dissent back in Gigerdian space, the GF sends in a cruiser along with military personnel to find out about the loyalties of the Peace Station's Gigerdian crew. After conducting some surveys and tests, the military personnel brand Kyle Gigerdi as a troublemaker, and place him under arrest. Mad Gigerdi is also told about his role in the future of the Gigerdi Federation, since he turns out to be a direct heir to the throne due to Emperor Ogaitinsha's worsening condition !
Kyle and Mad Gigerdi argue over Kyle's alleged unloyalty, but do not reach an agreement. Emperor Ogaitinsha dies, and Mad Gigerdi is sent to Gigerdi Prime for the inauguration ceremony.
Home is The Hunter
Following the unfair arrest of Kyle Gigerdi, many Gigerdian crewmen of the station start protesting the tightening climate on the station. Kyle escapes from his cell with a group of loyal Gigerdians, and heads to Gigerdi Prime for Mad Gigerdi's inauguration. Meanwhile at the station, many of the races express their concern over the sudden chaos, but are not given very specific answers.
Kyle is contacted by a group of dissident Gigerdian politicians, who inform him of their plans to form a new government out of a handful of Gigerdian colonies and fleets. Kyle is asked to be the new leader of this state, and he agrees while en route to Gigerdi Prime. Paavo Bakteeri mocks the Gigerdians on the station for their unfortunate internal strife.
Empires Divided, pt.1
Kyle lands into Gigerdi Prime, and interrupts the inauguration of the new emperor on the Gigerdian senate. Kyle delivers a quick message to the senate, informing that a number of colonies along with certain fleets have now formed the Gigerdi Confederation, an independent state wishing to have nothing to do with corrupted old ways of the GF.
Kyle is pursued by Gigerdian security forces, but manages to escape with the help of a handful of loyalists. Then, Kyle steals a large colony ship from Gigerdi Prime's surface, the GCS Hope, and flies away to join the newly created fleets of the Gigerdi Confederation. Kyle's armada then heads to the Ferrel system, that wants to join the new confederation. Kyle knows, that it won't be very long, until the GF fleets will catch up on the armada, and initiate combat.
Empires Divided, pt.2
The Gigerdi Federation and Confederation clash over the world of Ferrel. After a short battle, the Gigerdi Confederation's forces manage to drive the GF out of the system, and Ferrel declares independence. Mad Gigerdi is pushed by his new cabinet to crush the G-Confed's forces, but instead sues for peace, thus avoiding unnecessary bloodshed and destruction. The fighting between two Gigerdian factions end at the Peace Station, and Kwinda, who had taken Kyle's side on the dispute, is released from her holding cell.
Also, The United Orcs government is disbanded.
End of episode: News broadcast of the founding of the Hemmoian Federation.
Season 2: The Lost Hope
Running themes & foreshadowing: The shape-shifter threat.
All Roads Lead To...
HFed Great Council formed, Delta Quadrant governments join under one banner. Paavo of the Clan Berserk resigns from ambassadorial duties and becomes a barkeeper and owner of The Cave, a bar aboard the Peace Station.
Ambassador Las Herdan from the Gigerdi Federation replaces Kyle Gigerdi as the secondary ambassador, since the Gigerdi Confederation is unable to send a representative. Kwinda attempts to uncover information concerning the whereabouts of Kyle Gigerdi, but fails in the attempt, and is left rather confused. The station is also informed, that yet again a new Hemmoian ambassador will be send to replace the former one.
When The Ship Comes In
Las Herdan is having a hard time trying to orientate himself to the fast and often confusing pace of the station. The Bacterians bring their security bots to the station, but the Hemmoians and Gigerdians keep a close eye on their installation and deployment.
Las Herdan is bothered by the guilt produced by the disappearance of Kyle Gigerdi, and attempts to contact high-ranking military officials on Gigerdi Prime to find out about his fate for Kwinda. Mad Gigerdi, still continuing as the primary ambassador of the station, also continues his job there.
Lost Heroes
Herdan promotes Kwinda to the status of a full lieutenant among other Gigerdians. Herdan also tells Kwinda, that Kyle is very much alive, but is currently in hiding. This comforts her.
Metallica-Mies and Paavo Bakteeri go bar hopping. Paavo Bakteeri has hallucinations about the enigmatic telepaths that tormented him.
Distant Star
The crew of the Gigerdian research vessel GFS Koff visit the station, and tell tales of encountering Dominion ships on the edges of the Gamma and Delta Quadrants while being on a long survey in deep space. The various ambassadors discuss the Dominion, and ponder their possible intentions. The Hemmoians also replace the station's older defence drones with an upgraded model. IHSF Obliterator also visits the station, and brings the new drones.
As The GFS Koff leaves the station to continue back to Gigerdian space, it experiences an engine failure of some sort and is pulled out of warp, and straight into an asteroid field. The surviving crew manage to send a distress signal, and a daring rescue is mounted. The crew is saved at the last minute, but sadly all the research material from the survey, especially concerning the Dominion, is lost.
Long Dark
The episode begins by showing Kyle Gigerdi at the command of his armada of vessels at an undisclosed location. Kyle explains, that he has ordered all of the G-Confed's armadas to be split into smaller units, thus giving possible GF pursuers a harder time to hit the command vessels or find them at all. All sorts of discussions also take place about the structure of the newly former Gigerdi Confederation.
A small scout ship informs Kyle, that a suitable planet for the temporary base for the G-Confed has been found. The G-Confed armadas then begin to form up on the orbit of this world, and a base of operations is set up on this desert world. Kyle also feels, that it is about time that he returns back to the Peace Station to represent his legitimate government of Gigerdi Confederation. The G-Confed's armadas make a stop at this desert world.
Kyle hitches a ride on a Bacterian transport vessel, and hides in a crate containing Bak'Hir meat. As the transport reaches the Peace Station, and the crate is delivered straight to Paavo Bakteeri, Kyle suddenly pops out and runs away. As Kyle enters the main section of the station, security forces start to pursue him upon identification. Kyle runs to the ambassadorial quarters, and is about to get caught, but is saved by the Hemmoian ambassador of the day (who is ???). Kyle informs the Hemmoian ambassador, that he wishes to take his rightful place in the council as the representative of the Gigerdi Confederation, which the Hemmoian ambassador supports. As the next council meeting begins, the members find a unexpected addition to the council. The Gigerdians argue over the legitimacy of the G-Confed, but in the end accept each other. The Gigerdi Confederation also makes its' first attempts to form diplomatic treaties with the other races, and partly succeeds in establishing treaties with the Hemmoians and Bacterians.
Kyle and Kwinda are also reunited at last. BIG L-O-V-E ensues...
Hidden Agendas
The episode begins with Kyle and Paavo Bakteeri discussing an unofficial weapon trading deal between the Bacterian Empire and the Gigerdi Federation. The deal involves the Gigerdians giving weapon supplies to the Bacterians in exchange for support on the Peace Station's council.
A Gigerdian diplomat is murdered on the station, and Kyle Gigerdi is blamed for it. Kyle attempts to find out the real murderers with the aid of the security, and manages to find them from the lower decks. The murderers are members of a mercenary organization, and they claim that someone has paid them to commit a murder in Kyle's name. Kyle decides to play along with the two criminals, and even congratulates them of their deed. However, at one point, the two men suddenly state that their only reason for killing the diplomat was to just rob him of all valuables - in other words his death was an accident that wasn't supposed to happen. In the following confusion, the two decided to frame Kyle for the murder by masking themselves as supporters of Kyle's faction. In the end, the criminals are arrested and everything returns to Status Quo.
Hidden Dangers
Gigerdian scout vessel discovers an inactive alien ship that seems to be abandoned. The ship, however, is surely not abandoned. To their horror they awaken the Gorgs. The crew and the ship are assimilated. This starts the Gorg war between the gigerdians. UFP soon joins to help their allies in the conflict.
Dangerous Products
A travelling merchant arrives to the station, with the goal of selling all sorts of exotic souvenirs. All of the ambassadors find something interesting, and Kyle buys a statue for Kwinda. The statue isn't as harmless as it first appears, and some sort of a strange spirit lives inside it, and harms Kwinda. Kyle attempts to locate the merchant aboard the station, and finally manages to. The merchant tells Kyle, that he has to sell potentially "dangerous products" since he's short on money, but has no idea of the dangers that lurk inside the statue. Kyle demands an antidote for Kwinda, who has been reduced to a deep coma due to the attack of the statue. The antidote is given to Kyle, and Kwinda is saved. The merchant is banished from the station.
End of episode: the merchant is seen behind a table again on some Gigerdian colony, selling his statues to an unsuspecting young man.
When It Comes In Many Forms
While the Gorg war rages on, another threat starts to worry the Gigerdian leaders. Minor sabotages are starting to occur in different parts of the Gigerdi Federation and the shape-shifters are believed to be the cause. A Gigerdian exploration vessel is lost near the Dominion territory. No diplomatic connection can be established.
A Call-In Disaster
To everyone's amazement the legendary Gigerdian talk show host, H.R. Gigerdi, decides to visit the station. His visit draws the station full of hundreds of deranged fans from all over the galaxy. The security has problems dealing with the eager fans.
H.R. then decides to host a talk show live from the station - and he argues with the Gigerdian and Hemmoian ambassadors over the sanity of the idea along with the security risks. The ambassadors decide to agree with H.R's plans in the hopes of boosting the station's image. As H.R. manages to get his way, he asks each and every ambassador of the station as a guest for the show. Hilarity ensues as the ambassadors are all interviewed on live TV and asked a set of ridiculous questions. H.R. Gigerdi aims to start a small riot on the set in order to further boost his ratings, but his outrageousness does not produce the desired effect. H.R. then leaves the station to continue his mad show elsewhere.

Assimilation
Gigerdian cargo ships docks at the Peace Station and everything seems like normal. However, what they didn't notice was a single Gorg hiding in the cargo hold. This Gorg finds itself to the lower decks and starts assimilating the station and the people. Contact is lost with the lower decks soon and mystery evolves. After the station is being assimilated piece by piece they notice they're dealing with the gorgs. All ships docked with the station become "infected" as well. With the help of a Folan science vessel the people aboard the Peace Station attempt to fight the Gorgs.

Messages of Distress
Three GF vessels arrive at the Peace Sation with a message of upcoming Dominion attack upon the station. However, no official confirmation can be made as the information comes from a barely decoded transmission. With resources spread thin only a few additional ships arrive to the protection of the station. Later they detect a large fleet of Dominion ships heading towards the station. Large enough attack to decimate the station and its defenses. With too little time for reinforcements the station must prepare for its ultimate battle. Ends with a cliff-hanger.
Its Hour Come Around At Last
Continues the Messages of Distress. The Dominion fleet is approaching rapidly and no reinforcements would get there in time. The station and the few ships protecting it prepare for the battle. Soon the battle begins and Dominion seems to win easily with overwhelming numbers. Soon unexpected helps arrives. An average sized Folan fleet decloaks and engages the Dominion fleet. Although their numbers are fewer than Dominion's they can still hold back the Dominion fleet with excellent tactics. Buying them enough time for reinforcements to arrive at the scene. Rest of the Dominion ships retreat. The station still suffers significant damage during the battle, but can be easily repaired.
Old Friends, New Enemies
A series of sabotages occur on few neutral worlds close to the GF, which cause them to cease their support in the war against the Dominion. These same worlds were visited by Gigerdius weeks before, who later arrives at the Peace Station to do diplomatic negotiations. Only a day later, another Gigerdius is located on a Dominion prison world and suspicions arise to the other Gigerdius who becomes mysteriously missing.
Not This Again
Another shape-shifter threat is present aboard the Peace Station. Continues the previous Gigerdius episode. The real Gigerdius is brought to the station for questioning. Series of sabotages occur aboard the station and all traffic outside is ceased. The station security as well as several security detachments from two GF ships attempt to hunt down the shape-shifter with no luck. Den Kylek boards the station in secret and manages to locate the shape-shifter. The shape-shifter and Den Kylek duel against each other in the Hub City. Den Kylek manages to defeat the shape-shifter and then flees the area. Security finds the remains of the shape-shifter, but can't figure out who killed it. Den Kylek leaves a message for Kyle and Mad before leaving.
Totally Not "War Without End", pt.1 - 2

Hope Shines Again (Season Finale)
The final battle against the Dominion and the formation of the GA. Kyle and Mad Gigerdi also die at the end.
- (what an amazingly bad title!)
- (Dude, would you have settled on "A New Hope", instead? Another blatant ripoff from a down-the-gutter series as Star Wars nowadays is. Come on, B5-ripoffs all the way, man. And also, this title came from MG during the 5th or 6th grade - so I'm just following my memory here.)
- (I don't know how "A New Hope" is such a bad rip-off, if rip-off at all. I mean, it's just a sentence, a sentence that refers for creation of hope, something that exists elsewhere than in SW I think? Also since I named the beginning of Dominion war as "Lost Hope" it would be correct that a new hope is achieved in the end, especially with the formation of the GA. Isn't that some new hope for the Gigerdians? I guess something like "Rekindling the Hope" or something like that would mean about the same thing or simply put it as "New Hope". The Deconstruction-stuff is better left out though.)
Season 5
Running themes & foreshadowing: Budget cuts, lack of funding for the PS Project. Is this a conspiracy by some unseen organization? Introduces some of the new characters in the up-coming storylines i.e. Lydia and Nix Balmorra. Other than that, the 5th season is pretty much a huge filler episode.
Intergalactic Toga Party
A newly commissioned ambassador for the Gigerdians, Nix Balmorra, is ordered to assume the position of the Gigerdi Alliance's ambassador aboard the station. Paavo Bakteeri also leaves the station to continue as the emperor of the Bacterian Empire, but in turn orders his daughter Lydia Bakteeri as the new ambassador of the Bacterians aboard the station.
Celebrating the end of the Dominion War and the foundation of the Gigerdi Alliance, the Peace Station is visited by the leaders of every stellar government and their entourages, resulting in a slight overpopulation problem. The Folan emperor gets married (aboard the Station?) Some foreshadowing regarding the Exploreison project
Aftershocks
A large group of drifting refugees from several quadrants arrive at the station to seek refuge following the end of the Dominion War. The refugees settle in the lower decks, which causes some disagreements with the general population. The various ambassadors of the station must work together to resolve the domestic crisis resulting from the arrival of the "drifters".
Course for the Future
The various governments providing funds for the Peace Station Project now openly start to question the need to keep the station fully manned at all times. Nix Balmorra attempts to defend the idea of keeping personnel levels the same before a large interracial "financial review board" on the station, but eventually the review board decides to start a plan for the reduction of personnel on the station. The board also decides that the station should probably be kept in its' place, but only as a minor outpost or a museum. Several of the personnel aboard the station receive official orders from their respective governments, which include transfer dates for their duties. Nix is informed that he will be one of the last ones to go, and Lydia is to leave before him.
Under Siege
The Gigerdi Alliance hosts a conference aboard the station with the aim of establishing diplomatic ties with a fairly unknown pirate clan leader by the name of Kapu. Kapu has been successful in uniting several pirate clans under his rule, while claiming several peaceful resolutions as his motive. The diplomatic staff of the station have to host several pirate clan leaders on the station as the ambassadors seek a peaceful resolution with the various pirate groups. Later on, a pirate militia group not wishing to participate in the conference cause trouble at a shipping lane near the station, and the security forces aboard the station have to rely on Kapu's help to eliminate the threat. It is discovered that Kapu is a questionable new ally, conducting several rather questionable methods to win over the support of the other competing clans. The diplomatic staff aboard the station ponder about the moral and ethical dilemmas that come with "associating with criminals" with the expense of keeping peace with the pirate clans.
Security for hire
As the first batch of security personnel are reassigned from the station to other duties, the security aboard the station become slightly overworked. The security chief of the station demands more men, but since no additional manpower from any government can be shifted to the Peace Station, the council aboard the station decides to hire robots to replace the lost manpower. Naturally the robots malfunction with disastrous results, and Nix along with Lydia must solve the problem before the death toll becomes too much bear.
Space Bout!
A famous intergalactic martials arts show arrives to the station despite heavy protests. H.R. Gigerdi subsequently arrives to the station to act as the commentator during the matches, and the company holding the show posts advertisements all around the station in hopes of recruiting fresh contestants. Lots of spectacular martial arts at zero gravity ensue along with "bloody hilarity".
Lovers and Fighters
The Peace Station once again hosts an important diplomatic conference, which Lydia and Nix are assigned to administer. During their co-operation to set up the conference, they learn about each others similarities and differences, and a clear connection is established between the two. Meanwhile the station security starts to receive increasing protests from the other inhabitants of the station about the actions of the drifters residing in the lower decks.
No place like home pt. 1
A small group of concerned citizens of the station come to the Peace Station council, intending to file official protests concerning the drifters residing in the lower decks of the station. According to the citizens, the drifters cause trouble on the station and must be leave immediately. The drifters appoint a representative to counter the claims of the citizens, creating serious tensions. The station personnel struggle to uphold order on the station as the citizens and the drifters end up in various violent clashes.
No place like home pt. 2
The Peace Station officials led by Nix Balmorra and Shok 24 Teenik suspect that the drifters residing in the lower decks are not everything they say that they are. The suspicions especially center around the somewhat enigmatic leader of the drifters, who claims to just lead a peaceful group of misunderstood and mistreated individuals, but clearly has other agendas in mind as well.
As the tensions between the citizens and the drifters have cooled down a bit, an individual from the drifters approaches the Peace Station's officials with surprising information: the leader of the group has only recently joined the drifters before their arrival to the station, and is suspected to be a spy of some sort working for an unknown power. Most of the drifters believe that the current leader, Sonhan, was responsible for the death of their former leader. The drifters believe that Sonhan used several of them to get close to their former leader, and assassinated him when he had the chance.
The staff of the Peace Station decide to place Sonhan under arrest, but just as they are about to capture him, he escapes. Alot of the question are left unaswered regarding Sonhan's true motives and identity.
Ambassador Nix Balmorra also negoatiates a deal with the remaining drifters to allow them to stay on the planet that the station orbits. Thankful of this new sanctuary, the remaining drifters leave station to begin life anew.
The one that got away
The episode follows Nix Balmorra taking a fighter from the station to undergo sightseeing in the nearby areas. He is however ambushed and his accompanying fighters are disabled by an unknown vessel. Balmorra is captured, and later on it is found out that his captor is Sonhan. He attempts to interrogate Balmorra about the Peace Station's defence capabilities, while a single fighter limps back to the station and informs the crew there that Balmorra has been captured by unknown forces. Sonhan's interrogation of Balmorra continues, and it is found out that he truly is not what he seems, but instead works for a previously unknown third party. Many more questions are left unanswered concerning Sonhan's origins.
Echoing Responses
The GA Military Strategic Command is alerted about the capture of one of its' ambassadors. The staff at the Peace Station requests vessels from all of the starpowers to come and assist in the search of the lost ambassador, but due to many governments having decreased interest on the project, a great deal of trouble is had on trying to mobilize forces to assist. Especially the Folan government sends several vessels to assist in the search for the ambassador, since Nix Balmorra himself was responsible for a previously successfully negoatiated diplomatic treaty with the Folans.
Meanwhile Balmorra is still being detained at Sonhan's ship, who is revealed to be a mercenary for hire. In reality he has been hired by someone to start trouble in the systems neighbouring the Peace Station, but who exactly is he working for is still unknown. Balmorra suspects that he is working for several pirate clans, but naturally cannot be completely sure.
The episode ends in a scene which shows a GA carrier group arrive to the scene of the battle that resulted in Balmorra's capture.
M.I.A.
The large-scale involvement of the GA's fleets in an effort to find their missing ambassador results in unexpected protests from several governments on the Peace Station coucil, in fear of a large-scale conflict in the area. Meanwhile Sonhan uses an opportunity to attack the shipping lanes near the station once again with Balmorra witnessing the attack. Lydia Bakteeri uses her connections to get a handful of ships from the Bacterian side to join in on the search for the lost ambassador.
When Tides Turn
Sonhan is not aware of the massive operation to find his prisoner, Gigerdian ambassador Nix Balmorra. Sonhan plans to extend his operations and if needed, use Balmorra as a hostage and a bargaining chip when needed. The Bacterian forces manage to locate a small base of operations along with a few Hemmoian ships, and they report of their findings to the Peace Station, which decides to launch a surprise attack against the outpost. An unknown person (possibly from the station) informs Sonhan of the undergoing operation, and Sonhan decides to conveniently retreat to the outpost. The forces at the Peace Station begin to prepare for a raid to the outpost, which the Folans are not aware of. Sonhan informs Nix Balmorra that since he foiled the plan to infiltrate the Peace Station via a group of drifting refugees, he now holds a deadly grudge against him, since his plans have never failed before. Sonhan decides to kill Balmorra before any more harm can come to him from Balmorra.
Valhalla
The attack fleet from the Peace Station reaches Sonhan's orbital base, and a battle ensues between the two forces. Sonhan tries to kill Balmorra, but the killing attempt suddenly turns into a deadly duel inside the station. Sonhan is eventually defeated, but he once again manages to escape via a ship that curiously reminds Balmorra of a Folan design. He also manages to see Folan communications equipment and supplies inside station, but Sonhan activates the self-destruction sequence of the station in order to destroy all evidence. As Balmorra is saved, he cannot be sure if the Folans are involved in Sonhan's operations, or has he simply been using captured equipment?
Press Release
A Hemmoian journalist along with her crew arrives to the station to do a special report concerning the current status of the Peace Station Project. The episode mainly concentrates on all of the non-Gigerdian characters and their origins and reasons on why and how they ended up on the station.

The warrior demands to be named the ambassador himself, and also claims to have the support of the Bacterian royal court behind him. Lydia chooses to fight the Bacterian, but the duel is cut short due to urgent new orders coming straight from the Bacterian homeworld to end the hostalities between the two. It is later revealed that the Bacterian warrior, Kaga, was sent to test the resolve of Lydia by her father, Paavo Bakteeri.
This episode also expands on Bacterian domestic politics, origins of the royal court and a little bit of personal background info on the Bacterian characters.
One Too Many Mornings
A lack of Hemmoians in the command crew triggers a forgotten security measure in the Station's computer who just will not hear the crew's pleas not to detonate the fusion reactors.
The Big Mistake

The transport vessel bringing the bioweapons makes a short stop at the Peace Station, but due to a horrific error one of the containers opens up and the organisms get loose on the station. The other organism is destroyed after a lengthy search-and-destroy mission, but the other organism sneaks to a visiting GA warship, the GAS ???, which leaves the station unknowing of its ' new deadly stowaway on board.
