Blake's 7	comment	Blake's 7 is an iconic British SF series created by Terry Nation, who had earlier created the Daleks and the After the End drama series Survivors. It ran on BBC1 for four thirteen-episode series between 1978 and 1981.The series, which takes place during the "third century of the new calendar" note fans estimate this as approximately 2700 AD , is about the quest of a group of rebels to overthrow the evil and fascistic Federation that controls Earth and most of the known Galaxy. Though it is sometimes referred to as a Space Opera, it tended to the cynical end of the Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism, particularly after a certain point. The format had elements of Wagon Train to the Stars. It was also lower-budget and looked it.It is distinctive in that most of its leading characters are of the Anti-Hero type rather than your usual clean-cut heroes. Avon, the lead of the latter two seasons, was the epitome of this. It is often seen as Nation's attempt to subvert Star Trek — the B7 Federation's logo is the Trek Federation's logo rotated through 90 degrees — and other subversions of what, at the time, were standard Space Opera tropes are common.Roj Blake (or just "Blake"— in The 'Verse, people typically used only a single name) had led a rebellion against the Federation which had been put down. Brainwashed, Blake had renounced the rebellion he led and was leading the life of a normal citizen until he was brought out of his brainwashing by a new group of rebels. Again, that putative rebellion was quashed and Blake was framed for crimes he didn't commit (child molestation, though this wasn't mentioned again after the second episode) and sent to a prison planet.En route to exile, Blake and a group of prisoners managed to escape from captivity and take control of a mysterious and very advanced alien spaceship which they called the Liberator and resolved to fight back against the Federation. The series then chronicled their attempts, which were usually unsuccessful, to overthrow the Federation.Blake was perhaps the only "good" character amongst the Seven but, though he sometimes appeared to be The Captain, he never had the full authority and respect from the others to truly perform the role. The other main characters in the series were: Kerr Avon (Avon), an amoral computer expert who refused to trust anyone— a real Anti-Hero; Jenna Stannis (Jenna), a smuggler who was the pilot of the Liberator during the first two series; Vila Restal (Vila), a cowardly thief; Cally, a humanoid telepath with kamikaze tendencies exiled from the planet Auron; and Olag Gan (Gan), a Gentle Giant, but only because he had a limiter fitted to his brain after he killed his girlfriend's murderer in a rage. Liberator was controlled by a sentient computer known as Zen.The Federation was represented by an array of troopers, usually outfitted in black uniforms and gas masks. For the first two series, the Seven were pursued by Travis, a psychotic killer (and The Dragon) dispatched to "seek, locate and destroy Blake" by Big Bad Servalan (Jacqueline Pearce), the impossibly glamorous Supreme Commander (later President) of the Federation.At the end of the first series, the Seven beat Servalan to the supercomputer Orac (originally presented as a Weapon of Mass Destruction but downgraded when it was kept on), which was capable of finding information on almost anything but was also programmed with the personality of its creator, an irascible old man.The second series saw Blake determined to strike at the heart of the Federation by destroying its central computer— the series had a Story Arc, but often the quest for information about Star One was little more than a MacGuffin. The end of this arc shooed out some of the crew and introduced Del Tarrant (Tarrant), a former Federation officer who had deserted their ranks, and weapons expert Dayna Mellanby (Dayna). Despite the departure of Gareth Thomas, who played Blake, the series retained its title, with Avon now becoming the leader of the Seven.The rather grim Season C finale was supposed to be the end of the series (and, indeed, was the last episode written by Nation), but a year later, the BBC brought it back, though without the active involvement of Nation. Another post-season reshuffle introduced the computer Slave and the female gunslinger Soolin. If anything, this final season was even darker than before, with one of the most surprising endings to ever grace a TV show.

I knew he'd have to return to this galaxy!" One scene shows someone laying mines around the Milky Way galaxy to keep out aliens. Taken literally, this would mean there would hardly be any galaxy left by the time the minefield is laid out. Despite traveling from Earth to the edges of the galaxy and back, there is a part of the galaxy that takes them centuries to travel across.

Blake's 7 / int_1b89151e	comment	Forgotten Phlebotinum: "Project Avalon" states that the Federation Mind Probe is an infallible method of interrogation. That doesn't stop Cold-Blooded Torture from being used in later seasons, despite being less efficient. In the Two-Part Episode that introduces Orac, the Magical Computer can extrapolate the future and destroy an enemy vessel by hacking into and detonating the missiles it carries. Neither of these extremely useful abilities is ever mentioned again. In "Cygnus Alpha", Avon and Jenna discover the Liberator is carrying a vast fortune in jewelry, more than in the entire Federation banking system according to Avon, who urges Jenna to take the money and run, saying that Blake will just use it for his Hopeless War. But we never see Blake using it to finance La RÃ©sistance (except for a few crystals in "Shadow"); in fact, several future episodes are based on The Caper in order to steal for the revolution (or make our anti-heroes rich).

Blake's 7 / int_1ce428b5	type	Cold Equation
Blake's 7 / int_1ce428b5	comment	Cold Equation: "Orbit" was inspired by the Trope Namer. Avon and Vila are on a shuttle desperately trying to achieve escape velocity. They throw out everything they can but are short seventy kilos. It turns out that the shuttle is being weighed down by a piece of super-dense matter. Once Avon finds it all he has to do is push it out the airlock - if he can, because it's so damn heavy. Trouble is, he can't get Vila to help him because he's scared Vila into hiding. Also happens in "Stardrive". With Federation cruisers closing in on them, the Stardrive's inventor says she needs 50 minutes to connect it up. Eventually it comes down to a few seconds they don't have, so Avon ends up sacrificing her to save their ship by setting the controls to launch when she makes the final connection. However Avon shoots down the idea in "Warlord" (thought the person suggesting the idea has already betrayed them, so Avon is hardly inclined to sacrifice his friends to save him). In "The Harvest Of Kairos", a Federation transporter with a valuable cargo is too heavy to reach orbit from a Death World, so Servalan orders the captain to leave some of his labourers behind. There's a moment of Black Comedy when a guard is taunting the labuorers as he locks them out, only to find the transporter taking off without him as well.

He either wins an obscene amount of money, or he loses and the resident chessmaster pushes a button and fries him. After Vila and Avon scam the casino with the help of Orac, Vila is tricked into playing the game. "Death-Watch" features a one-on-one duel to the death conducted between representatives of two planets who use the duels as a substitute for all-out interplanetary war. The events are broadcast widely, and of course nobody could possibly want to interfere with them for their own political gain...

Blake's 7 / int_21d70919	comment	Crapsack World: The show is generally extremely cynical, and gets even more so as it progresses. The "good" characters are generally either Nominal Heroes or Well Intentioned Extremists, the victories against the Federation are minor and temporary, and increasingly rare in later seasons. The Federation is nearly destroyed at the beginning of Season C by the Andromedan invasion, but gradually gets back up to full power despite the resistance's efforts. And of course, there's the notorious ending.

Travis gets one too, from the hips down (he was being doubled by another actor); in a documentary on the series, they point out that the director wanted a pell-mell run, but the set was so small that doing that would have resulted in smacking into (or, just as likely, straight through) the far wall. The attempt to find a compromise between artistic vision and safety results in sort of a bouncy, skipping... thing...

The reasons given include Blake knowing that the Federation would just send someone else (and he's convinced he can always beat Travis), because he's worried he'd enjoy it, or as a Cruel Mercy (because Travis will be punished for failing, or because he's lost everything after going Rogue Agent). When Avon becomes the leader he's not burdened by such qualms, so Servalan usually arranges a Mexican Standoff or Villain: Exit, Stage Left However Avon (and Tarrant in "Sand", despite Servalan arranging the death of his brother) seem equally reluctant to kill her as Blake was to kill Travis.

On the other hand, they were designed to be much tougher than the Liberator guns, which had a tendency to break whenever Paul Darrow picked one up. The Liberator hadn't been designed by the special effects team as was the usual procedure, so it wasn't designed to conceal the mounting rods and suspension wires, was too front-heavy, and had a tendency to jab the set crew with its prongs.

Blake's 7 / int_36fa0cc	comment	Clones Are People, Too: "Children of Auron", which features a society that practices large-scale cloning, is probably the most casual and realistic treatment of it in any Space Opera. Cally and her sister Zelda are depicted just like real-world natural twins, as independent individuals with their own personalities and motivations who just happen to look identical. The episode does, however, depict one hard-SF big disadvantage of large-scale cloning — lack of genetic variation leading to lack of disease resistance and vulnerability to epidemics. In "Weapon", Space Commander Travis encounters a clone Blake and is unable to resist killing him. The Clonemasters regard this as a serious breach of ethics and Servalan has to promise them that Travis will be punished. He isn't of course, as Servalan and Travis don't care much about killing anyone (in fact Travis accuses Servalan of using him to test the effectiveness of the clone). Another clone Blake is then used for their Evil Plan but helps foil it instead, having developed his own sense of ethics.

Blake's 7 / int_3830dafc	comment	Mechanistic Alien Culture: The System, a civilization controlled by the three powerful defence computers of the three inhabited planets of their solar system, which built the starship DSV-1. The System was administered by Altas (either cyborgs, androids, or augmented humans) and black-armoured guards that appeared to be cybernetically augmented humans. There were also thousands of human slaves, descendants of the people who had built the computers that had taken over their civilization. Similarly, the Ultra of Ultraworld in Series 3 are blue-skinned humanoid creatures either summoned or created by Ultraworld (a living, artificial planet/giant computer centred around an enormous brain) to interact with captured starship crews, whom Ultraworld intends to absorb into its gestalt. They walk with a jerky gait and speak in odd, robot-like cadences. The "menials," assimilated humanoid servants, are also examples of this trope: their identity, memories, and emotions are recorded on a tube and stored in a library. They behave mechanistically as they toil about, maintaining Ultraworld. The Federation could be said to be an example of this; it has rigid autocratic tendencies, computerized trials, and Star One, a computer complex that controls various functions of their society. They have "grades," hierarchical classes of citizens, and Federation colonies are highly controlled environments with pharmaceuticals pumped into the air and water to pacify the people.

In "Killer", a doctor can't access a computer to analyse the plague results because it's outside the quarantined area. The entire Federation is run by a single Master Computer instead of a less-vulnerable distributed network. The notion that in the future a human could defeat "the best chess computer available", let alone six times in a row, has now become ludicrous. The last year any human was able to beat the best chess-playing computer in the world was 2005. In "Weapon" Carnell might have saved himself the small fortune he spent. Or maybe he is into antiques? The thing he uses looks exactly like the 1977 Chess Challenger 3.

It's also the backstory of that episode — the System was a Master Computer created by one of three constantly warring planets. It ended the conflict by taking over the other planet's computers and enslaving their inhabitants. Played straight to a cliched degree in "Headhunter". Mueller's android is an evil, homicidal machine that can control any other machine, and wished to use this ability to conquer the universe.

Blake's 7 / int_4508b16b	comment	The Guards Must Be Crazy: On the prison transport in "Space Fall" they station a lone guard inside the prisoners' room, whose palm print can open the door from there. Naturally, once the camera is taken out he's overpowered and coerced to open the door by Gan threatening that they'll simply take off his hand if he refuses. Also the guard falls for Vila's magic trick distraction a second time; this makes sense when he's bored because there's nothing happening, but not moments after the ship has been endangered by the turbulence from a space battle. From a review of the episode "Bounty": Zigzagged in "Rumours of Death". La RÃ©sistance knocks out a camera, and rather than say It's Probably Nothing a squad of guards is immediately dispatched to the area. However, Security refuses to seal off the area as per regulations, pointing out that if it IS nothing then their superiors will come down on them hard if the VIP's are locked out of President Servalan's Fancy Dinner. Unfortunately, the squad is ambushed and stripped of their uniforms which are then used to infiltrate the event.

Blake's 7 / int_4523420b	comment	Love Dodecahedron: Though the show was very sparing with its romantic sub-plots, it's not difficult to read a subtext into the series that basically has Blake, Avon, Jenna, and Cally involved in one: Blake/Jenna and Avon/Cally both have heaps of Unresolved Sexual Tension (though mostly one-sided from poor Cally in the latter instance), while there's hints of Avon/Jenna engaging in some Belligerent Sexual Tension (above and beyond the BST Avon has with everyone, that is). Meanwhile, Cally's open admiration for Blake right from the time she joins the crew can read like a crush pretty easily. And that's to say nothing of the possibility of Blake/Avon and Jenna/Cally that's barely buried any deeper in the subtext than the heterosexual pairings... The second crew gets in on it, too: Cally and Dayna are both pretty blatantly attracted to Avon, but there's also Vila with a none-too-subtle crush on Dayna; while Dayna and Tarrant have perhaps the only explicit, canonical romance between main characters in the show (though "romance" might be slightly too sentimental a term for what they apparently get up to).

In-Universe the trope is used for Party Scattering. Season 3 starts with the crew of the Liberator taking to the life capsules after life support is damaged while fighting an alien invasion. By the time Avon makes it back to the ship (which is self-repairing) he finds the Liberator has been seized by Federation soldiers and he spends the next episode getting rid of them. Blake himself (along with Jenna) never make it back to the ship, making Avon the series lead by default. In the final episode, their replacement vessel the Scorpio is attacked and crashlands on a planet. Tarrant pilots the ship down to give the others time to teleport off. This also leads to Party Scattering, and a Tragic Mistake ensues.

Avon assures her that she won't stand out as "When Helotrix was first settled, the old Stock Equalization Act was still in force. Every Earth race had to be represented."

All these systems differ in maximum speed, with the Liberator and Scorpio outclassing just about everything else, but all of them are apparently very fast; the crew darts around the galaxy and is able to return to Earth to strike at the Federation's heart without too much-extended space travel.

(They are also inevitably villains. Well, half of them anyway; Krantor and Egrorian were outright villainous, but Toise didn't really care for Krantor's schemes and just wanted to focus on running the casino, while Pinder was neutral.)

Turns out the door is actually a forcefield disguised as a door. Any attempt to cut or blast through reinforces the forcefield, reflecting the energy back at the attacker. Vila gets through with a low energy probe, set just a fraction below the energy threshold of the forcefield. Bayban on the other hand decides to let loose with a spaceship laser cannon and blows himself up along with the entire city.

Blake's 7 / int_61e3b6ae	comment	It's a Small World, After All In "Time Squad", Blake decides to make contact with La RÃ©sistance by landing on the planet Saurian Major and moving from one location to another until someone contacts him. Good thing Cally, the sole surviving member of the rebel forces after the rest were wiped out by biological warfare, is in the area! Justified in "Cygnus Alpha" when it turns out Blake and Avon both worked on the abortive Federation effort to develop a matter transporter. When this trope is lampshaded, it's just pointed out that it was a very large project. In "Aftermath" the script just throws up its proverbial hands and acknowledges the Contrived Coincidence when Avon and Servalan survive a massive space battle only to run into each other while stranded on an alien planet.

Blake's 7 / int_61ff365d	comment	Deflector Shields: The Liberator is protected by a "force wall" against plasma bolts, meteor storms, or even tiny particles of dust if they're going fast enough. However, it's very energy consumptive; in "Duel" the Liberator's power banks are so low they can only raise the force wall just before the plasma bolt strikes. There's also a flare shield that must be raised before firing the neutron blasters, apparently to stop the crew being injured by reflected glare and radiation from their own weapons. The force wall was one of several superior technologies that made the Liberator quite a battlewagon — in "The Harvest of Kairos" Servalan is shocked that the Liberator can fire through its own force wall, and has the ability to overlap its force walls for greater protection. There were several mentions of defence fields and screens used to protect spaceships or surface installations, so the Federation apparently has similar albeit less advanced technology.

When Albian legally demanded their independence, the Federation hid a Doomsday Device on the planet and threatened to detonate it if they rebelled. When Saurian Major rebelled, half the population were deported and La RÃ©sistance wiped out with biological weapons. Once Agravo had been mined of all useful minerals, the Federation evacuated the skilled personnel and left the others to die a slow death when their resources ran out. As it turns out an industrial accident kills them first. Gauda Prime was designated an agricultural world, but when it was discovered to have mineral wealth on the land that the Federation settlers legally owned, the High Council declared it an Open Planet where all law & order was suspended. Anyone who refused to leave could then be legally murdered. When Servalan herself becomes President she commits mass genocide just to blackmail the Auronar into cloning children for her. And they say Babies Make Everything Better...

While the Clonemasters have pseudo-religious trappings, they are a creation of the Federation used to keep control of their forbidden knowledge. In "Cygnus Alpha", the cult leaders use a phony religion to keep their society united on a penal planet with limited resources. Other than these examples however the trope is played straight, as we don't see anyone turning to religious belief to cope with their existence in a Crapsack World. Neither does the Federation use a state religion as a tool of power, which they'd certainly do if religious beliefs had any currency among the population.

Servalan's scans show that Avon has somehow got hold of a powerful warship, and she abandons the Liberator in a panic. In "Shadow", a crime boss is robbed and told to lie face down on the floor.

When she becomes President of the Terran Federation it's become a Vestigial Empire that's collapsed into chaos and Civil War, so Servalan is hoping that capturing the Liberator and Orac will increase her own power base against rival Federation factions. It's no surprise that the forces loyal to her are overthrown after Servalan is stranded on an isolated planet and apparently killed during a final ill-fated attempt to seize the Liberator.

They force him to call Cally on the Liberator, so Blake tells her to send Zen across with the money. However this backfires because his captor assumes Blake came there by shuttle (he was teleported, but that's not a well-known technology) and therefore that's a Covert Distress Code — his shuttle should still be on the Space Station, not the Liberator. Blake has to bluff him into believing the Liberator has more than one shuttle. It should be noted that the crew of the Liberator never do establish a Covert Distress Code, despite several occasions where they're coerced (or their voice is faked) to get someone to teleport up a boarding party.

They strip the shuttle of everything they can throw out the airlock but are still short 70 kilos. The computer then helpfully informs Avon that Vila weighs 73 kilos. Vila promptly hides while Avon stalks him with a gun in his hand saying, "Come out. Vila, I know how they did it, but I need your help." Then Avon really does discover how they weighed down the shuttle — by hiding a speck of super-dense matter on board — and needs help pushing it out the airlock. Vila of course refuses to come out of hiding, and Avon barely manages it in time.

Jenna snarking at Vila, then deducing the spacecraft they're on has a faulty hyperdrive. A smiling Gan threatening to tear a guard's hand off in order to make him open a door.

Tarrant, disguised as a Federation officer, casually introducing himself to Avon and Dayna and asking what they're doing on his ship.

The more idealistic characters (Gan, Cally, Dayna, Blake) entered the series with a relatively low level of snark. Their snarkiness grew on a par with their cynicism, especially with Blake. Avon was The Snark Knight, and every character becomes more snarky proportionally to how often they interact with him. Except Dayna, who can out-snark him from her first episode.

Tarrant points out Servalan will likely kill them anyway, and refuses. Avon however concedes, but quickly adds a provision to Zen that Servalan must first leave them unharmed on a planet with Earth-like conditions. Unfortunately the nearest planet of that description is a Death World, and Servalan later tries to destroy them with Orbital Bombardment just to be sure. In "Terminal", Servalan uses a Hostage for MacGuffin ploy, throwing in her own spaceship in exchange for the Liberator as a way off the planet. Unfortunately her hostage is actually an illusion created with a Lotus-Eater Machine, and her spaceship crashlanded on arrival so they might not be able to repair it. And did she mention that the planet's fauna is extremely hostile and all the technology she left behind is booby-trapped?

Blake's 7 / int_ca52cc92	comment	Canned Orders over Loudspeaker: The pilot episode opens with a security camera panning over drugged and docile citizens walking zombielike through white-painted corridors to the cheerful sound of muzak and a voice announcing various government directives. In Season 4 the Terran Federation has spread its empire due to Government Drug Enforcement. A secret resistance video shows Federation citizens with zombie-like expressions and numerals stamped on their foreheads, moving listlessly up and down elevators while a soothing voice tells them, "You are cared for. You are loved." The voice continues even when the guards get bored and start shooting people for fun. In "Redemption", our heroes are captured by the computer-controlled dystopia that built the Liberator. Despite not being in the Federation they have all the standard tropes of a sci-fi dystopia: black-clad Faceless Goons, bases that look like British nuclear power stations, and this trope calling on guards to capture and eliminate a group of rogue slaves (it serves a foreshadowing when one of these slaves turns up to help them). In "Killer", as a Synthetic Plague sweeps through a Federation base, tannoy speakers announce that the situation is under control and everyone is to remain at their post, after a scene where people are shown fleeing in panic and dying in the corridors.

It's one of the reasons why the Federation is so eager to capture the Liberator. A few aliens could teleport too, either psionically or using technology.

Avon was a Sour Supporter to Blake, and when he becomes The Captain finds himself in a running dispute with cocky newcomer Tarrant over who should be in charge of the ship.

In "Powerplay", Zee and Barr are the nicest and prettiest bounty hunters you could meet. Pity their job is capturing people so they can be dissected for their Human Resources. In "Blake", the planet Gauda Prime is a Crapsack World where all laws have been suspended by the Federation High Council, in order to kill or drive off the colonists who legally owned the land. This naturally attracted a large number of criminals and psychopaths who now have to be disposed of before law and order can be reintroduced, so they're being used as bounty hunters to catch or kill their fellow lawbreakers. Our rebel anti-heroes are not pleased to hear that Blake, ostensibly their leader but who's been missing for the past couple of seasons, is now working as one of these bounty hunters. It turns out he's secretly recruiting another rebel force from among the criminals he's capturing.

Blake's 7 / int_e80cdd72	comment	Almost Out of Oxygen: In "Time Squad", while answering a Distress Call Blake and Jenna get sealed inside a tiny spacecraft whose oxygen has already been used up. Despite being barely familiar with the Liberator at this point in the series, and their Ace Pilot stuck on the spacecraft with Blake, the others have to scoop the craft into their cargo bay so it can be broken into. In "City at the Edge of the World", Vila and Kerril are unexpectedly teleported to an automated spacecraft, where a recorded voice informs them they will remain alive only as long as the air that was teleported with them lasts. When they don't die as expected, Vila realizes that air is filtering through the Forcefield Door from a habitable planet outside, as the spacecraft has reached its destination. In "Headhunter", Orac puts Scorpio into Lock Down to prevent the Monster of the Week from escaping. It responds by shutting down life support, but fortunately, the crew gets into rescue suits in time. Avon then has to break quarantine to rescue them, as the suits have limited oxygen supply. In "Assassin", our heroes seize the spaceship of a Professional Killer, who escapes and shuts off the life support remotely, forcing them to split up and search in the limited time they have left. In "Warlord", Xenon Base is sabotaged; bombs destroy the teleport and all entrances, yet the ventilation is left intact to spread a lethal virus. So the people trapped inside have to shut down life support leaving them with air for around 20 hours, and it will take at least four days to dig themselves out. In "Hostage", Travis locks our heroes in an airlock and starts to pump out the air. Vila wants to know how many minutes they have left before they die of oxygen deprivation. Avon's reply? "I'll let you know."

Blake's 7 / int_f2e4d683	comment	Stealth in Space: In "Time Squad", the Liberator approaches Saurian Major from Federation space, figuring their attention will be towards neutral space. So they don't have a space traffic control system? In "Duel", the Liberator orbits close to a planet to hide them from long-range detection, as opposed to hiding in deep space. However, Travis has already tracked them down and uses the planet to hide his attack run. He's only detected because some of the crew have teleported down to the planet, where they look up at the night sky and see the lights of the drive units closing in on the Liberator. In "Stardrive", Avon decides to sneak past the detection grid of a planet by hugging close to an asteroid. Surprisingly Realistic Outcome and the Scorpio side-swipes the asteroid, severely damaging the ship. In "Volcano", the Liberator is in geostationary orbit so it can only scan one half of a planet at the time. Servalan has a battlefleet in the same orbit on the other side of the planet, until it's time to strike. It also helps that the man in charge of the planet's detection grid is in league with her. In Season B, Avon invents a deflector shield that can mask the Liberator from anything except a short-range scan. A couple of episodes later they're caught in a massive ambush thanks to the Federation developing a similar device, and Avon expresses disappointment that he can't sell his invention to them.

On the other hand... bouffant hair, steers the Liberator, is a bit of a space pirate... yep, he's actually the new Jenna). Contrasting Sequel Main Character: The sycophantic Slave replaces the Literalist Snarking Zen, and Ice Queen Soolin replaces empathic Cally (she also contrasts with the other Action Girl — hotheaded Blood Knight Dayna). And then there's the Scorpio. For the first three seasons, the Liberator is the cast's greatest asset because it has two technologies that the Federation cannot match: its speed and its teleporter. When the Liberator is destroyed at the end of Season Three, they find a new ship, the Scorpio. It also has a superintelligent talking computer (something not seen on most human ships) and a teleporter system! What are the odds? But it's not very fast... until about the fourth episode of the season when they find a new super speed technology.

Blake's 7 / int_f6b30338	comment	Murder Is the Best Solution: Servalan's default response to any problem, though it's not like the Federation High Council is any better. The inventor of Orac wants 300 million credits for his Magical Computer, plus a doctor to fix his artificial heart. Deciding it will take too long to pry a fortune from the Federation bureaucracy, Servalan murders the doctor, has him posted as a deserter (meaning his family will be sold into slavery) then waits for the inventor to die of natural causes so she can go in and steal Orac for her personal use. Servalan infects the Auronar with a Synthetic Plague just to blackmail them into cloning children for her. And they say Babies Make Everything Better. Once Agravo had been mined of all useful minerals, the Federation evacuated the skilled personnel and left the others to die a slow death when their resources ran out. As it turns out an industrial accident kills them first. Gauda Prime was designated an agricultural world, but when it was discovered to have mineral wealth on the land that the Federation settlers legally owned, the High Council declared it an Open Planet where all law & order was suspended. Anyone who refused to leave could then be legally murdered.
