The Intergalactic War (or Andromedan War) is a fictional event in the ''Blake's 7'' science fiction television series. Linking the second and third season, it represented a culmination of the second series' Star One plot thread. The war was possibly the single most important event in the ''Blake's 7'' series, shifting the series emphasis and seeing the largest turnover in the cast. In the fictional universe of the series, it was also a singular event, severely curtailing the power of the Terran Federation. == Prologue == According to the episode "Pressure Point", thirty years before the series, the central Federation computer control, the massive computer banks that controlled transportation, communications and weather on hundreds of worlds, was relocated to a small planet orbiting an uncharted white dwarf (''Countdown'', ''Star One'') where it would not be easily found. The empty control complex was left on Earth to serve as a target for resistance groups. The new control center, named Star One, was protected in a number of ways. It was placed in the outer edge of the Galaxy where the star density was low so that it could not be found accidentally. Servalan had knowledge of its location purged from the Federation ranks shortly before the beginning of the series (''Gambit'',''Star One''). A small crew elected to stay on Star One to devote their lives to maintaining the machines. They were rigorously conditioned against betrayal. In the episode ''Star One'', Orac speculated that an unstated time before the series (but presumably before the location of Star One was erased), a scout ship from the nearby Andromeda Galaxy had appeared. To protect the Galaxy, thousands of anti-matter space mines were slowly placed between Star One and Andromeda as well as at other strategic points in the Galaxy. (The logic of this precaution is debatable. Having come two million light years, an invasion force could simply have gone around and approached the planet by the same path as Liberator). The quest to find Star One comprised a large part of the second series, with Blake traveling all over the Galaxy to find the location and deliver a decisive crippling blow to the corrupt Terran Federation. It also served, according to script editor Chris Boucher, as a way to edge Blake into a more fanatical direction, willing to perhaps kill thousands in his quest to destroy the Federation.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intergalactic War (Blake's 7)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
