The Last Enemy

Intro

18th episode of the first season. Written by Bob Kellett, who also directed the episode (his sole director role in the series). This is the only episode both written and directed by the same individual.

Summary

The Moon approaches a star system with two planets locked in a single orbit on opposite sides of their common sun. The first is soon remotely detected to be inhabited, followed soon by Sandra detecting the approach of a "powered object" that Kano detects is a collosal battleship. Alpha takes up defensive position and considers a defensive albeit partially pre-emptive strike. Alpha soon finds itself in the middle of a major battle, in two rounds separated by a cease-fire, all the while being fed a mix of (apparently) honest and misleading information from an alien commander, Dione, who "escaped" her damaged ship. The Alphans survive the battle with damage to parts of the base and a few minor injuries, while the other two sides suffer some major damage.

Plot

(Most of the episode's plot is described in Betha vs. Delta: Battle on the Moon — while lead-in elements are mentioned in the first half of the Summary.)
