Stargate Universe, Season 3 Episode 4
ALLIANCES
Destiny enters a new galaxy expecting a routine recharge. No alarms. No crisis. Just light, silence, and the familiar rhythm of an ancient ship doing what it has done for millions of years.
Then it drops into war.
Not a single battle. Not an invasion in progress. An entire region of space shaped by decades of conflict. Shattered worlds. Drifting wreckage. Distress calls layered over one another in languages Destiny has never heard before. Survivors trapped in the remains of ships that no longer exist as ships at all but are drifting lifeboats.
For the first time since Destiny was repaired, survival is no longer the only question in the room.
The crew can act now. They can intervene. They can help. And the moment they do, neutrality stops being passive.
As Destiny moves through this galaxy, its presence alone begins to shift power balances. Some factions want the ship close, others want it gone. Some ask for aid. Others refuse it entirely, choosing extinction over assimilation. And one empire, the Zevrin Dominion, continues their mission of cleansing the unrighteous from their path to the origin signal, they begin calculating what Destiny represents to a war that was only meant to end in extinction of anyone not Zevrin.
Alliances is a story about unintended consequence. About how helping one world could condemn another. About whether neutrality is a moral position or just another form of violence. And about the moment Destiny stops being a witness to history and becomes part of it.
Season 3 Episode 4 continues the Stargate Universe story as it was meant to be told. Quiet. Heavy. Uncomfortable. Focused on choice rather than victory.
Coming soon.
