Synopsis
In the year 2794, the colony ship UESC Marathon was attacked by the Pfhor, an alien race of slavers. A Cyborg arrived shortly to defend the ship from the alien intruders, and was led by the ship's operations AI, Leela, to reactivate the ship's defenses and to save the crew. Shortly thereafter, she was attacked by the S'pht, a race of cyborgs enslaved by the Pfhor, and the rampant AI Durandal led the Cyborg to take over the alien ship. He succeeded, liberated the S'pht who then reactivated Leela, and defeated the Pfhor, and Durandal stole the Pfhor's ship, with the intention of touring the galaxy.
