Captain Dylan Hunt and his ship the Andromeda Ascendant are rescued by the Eureka Maru, an opportunistic salvage ship, after being trapped in the event horizon of a black hole for 300 years.

Dylan and the crew of the Eureka Maru agree to join forces and become one team aboard the Andromeda Ascendant as they set forth on his mission to restore the Systems Commonwealth.

Dylan inadvertently gives a group of child warriors power to destroy a solar system.

Beka and Tyr square off against Dylan for leadership of Andromeda during a dangerous face-off with an unknown enemy.

Captain Dylan Hunt must save the Andromeda Ascendant from the Nietzscheans, who are trying to persuade Tyr to help them destroy the Andromeda and to rebuild his life as a Nietzschean, which includes a wife to carry on his ancestry.

Dylan is faced with a difficult decision when the slipstream puts the Andromeda back in time -- days before the battle that is the demise of the Nietzschean race and the Systems Commonwealth.
