Space: Above and Beyond
“We thought we were alone. We believed the universe was ours. Until one night in 2063, on an Earth colony 16 light-years away, they struck. Now we're at war. We fight when called, in space, on land, and at sea. To lose this war means more than defeat; to surrender is to never go home. All of us must rise to the call... above and beyond.”
Season 1 is the first and only season of Space: Above and Beyond which premiered September 24, 1995. The season consisted of 23 episodes.[1]
