Description "We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours, until one night in 2063 on an Earth colony 6 light years away they struck... and now we are at war. My name is Lieutenant Colonel TC McQueen. I'm an In Vitro, a race of artificially gestated humans. I command a marine corp squadron, the 58th. They call us the 'Wild Cards'. We fight when called - in space, on land... and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat. To surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call above and beyond".
- Lt Col TC McQueen

On September 24, 1995 I saw this series to the very final episode. This is probaby the last vestages of my memory. had this ship for awhile and final gone about to render her. This was back in the day when you wanted a great story, all you had to say is Morgan & Wong. Sad fact it never made it's 5 season run, nor will it probably see any incarnation. But I will never forget. Especially...Pag's

"I don' think your GOD wants to hear from me right now Padre. because I'm about to go out there and blow one of his creations right out of existence then I'm going to come back here and drink a bottle of jack like its "Chiggy Von Richtofen's" Blood."

(paraphrased because it has been a WHILE since i watched my dvds.)

Ye gods, dragging up old memories, some good others cringe-worthy (We do not have Ranches in Australia...) however I did like these Carriers, and this is a sweet example

If I come up with the Hammerheads, some of those assault craft, and some uniforms....GAMES ON!

Finding those birds are going to be a challenge that's for sure...I sort of remember the uniforms, and if I knew where a certain Starlog magazine with them on the cover was I would be able to scan it, but I think it may have gone

I found them in Lightwave format on Foundation3d. But the Shuttles are missing in Action except references on the fan sites.

I remember that show! The aliens found water poisonous...and then there was the base of exiled robots that had gone rogue and killed all the humans! Good stuff!

Wtf?

In the years leading up to 2063, humanity has begun to colonize other planets. Lacking FTL technology, this is accomplished by taking advantage of transient but predictable, naturally-occurring wormholes. Without warning, a previously unknown alien species, the "Chigs", attack and destroy Earth's first extra-solar colony and then destroy a second colony ship. The bulk of the Earth military forces sent to confront the Chigs are destroyed or outflanked, in part because the Chigs have some form of FTL, affording them greater freedom of movement (although this technology appears limited, and the Chigs also primarily utilize natural wormholes). In desperation, unproven and under-trained outfits like the 58th "Wildcards" are thrown against the Chigs. The Wildcards are the central focus of the series, which follows them as they grow from untried cadets into veterans. Although the unified Earth forces come under the control of a reformed United Nations, the UN has no armed forces of its own and therefore navies such as the U.S. Navy and the Royal Navy operate interstellar starships.

The Space: Above and Beyond milieu includes an underclass race of genetically engineered and artificially gestated humans who are born at the physical age of 18, and are collectively known as In Vitroes or sometimes, derogatorily, "tanks" or "nipple-necks". The In Vitroes have replaced the previous underclass, the artificial intelligences known as Silicates. These human-looking androids, referred to as "walking personal computers", have rebelled, formed their own societies, and wage a guerrilla war against human society. The Silicates are also suspected of having some involvement with the Chigs.
