![]() ![]() Equating 'Standard by' to the Time Distort unit used by the Federation is not straightforward, however Standard by Six was equivalent to Time Distort 10 and Standard by Ten was equivalent to Time Distort 20 (reference the episode Hostage). In the episode Redemption the identical ship to the Liberator travels at Standard by Fourteen. The maximum speed of the Liberator was Standard by Twenty (as reported in the episode Breakdown), although the ship was effectively out of control. Running at full power the banks would be exhausted in two hours. One of the ship's few weaknesses was the occasional need to cease energy expenditure to allow the banks to replenish themselves. The Liberator drew its power from seven self-regenerating energy banks. It was incredibly difficult to operate the ship without the computer systems' support. All systems were self-regenerating and intrinsically computer-controlled. ( B: Redemption)īlake and Avon's first impressions of the ship were that the technology was more than simply advanced, being in fact conceptually alien to them. The Liberator exploded immediately afterwards. Upon commanding her crew to go to maximum power she found the vessel disintegrating around her, to the point where one of the nacelles detached. Shortly afterwards Servalan finally captured the ship but was unaware of its compromised state. The slime caused initially superficial but widespread damage, beyond the ability of the self-repair systems to neutralise. The particles coated the hull, disabling the sensors there, and spread through the systems of the Liberator like a disease, apparently feeding on the material of the ship and appearing as a thick green-brown slime. ( B: Redemption)Īvon was eventually lured to the artificial planet Terminal by a cryptic signal, but the flightpath of the ship took it through a cloud of fluidic particles in space. The Federation persisted in attempting to capture the vessel intact. It was also the first ship to engage the invading forces during the Intergalactic War. The System launched another DSV-class ship to pursue them but it was destroyed by Orac.īlake and later Avon commanded the Liberator, firstly in search of Star One and later for a permanent base of operations. ![]() However, with the help of Orac's interference in the System's programming, Blake and the others were able to escape. ![]() The ship was taken to the home of the System, a giant space station, where Blake was interrogated. It became apparent that the original owners of the craft were reclaiming their property. Shortly after leaving the planet Aristo, the Liberator came under attack from alien vessels, its own systems shutting down or becoming actively hostile towards the crew. The Liberator followed the London to Cygnus Alpha ( A: Cygnus Alpha) before travelling to Saurian Major, the two planets where Blake recruited the rest of his initial crew. He at once decided to take the ship and disconnected it from the London, although not after a struggle in which he was wounded and Raiker killed. Blake's knowledge of his altered memories made him less susceptible to the sphere and he destroyed it. They discovered the ship was apparently abandoned but protected by a sphere which used the intruders' memories to lure them into making (fatal) contact with them. Blake, Avon and Jenna were then sent across, as they were condemned prisoners and were thus expendable. Leylan reckoned that the battle involved "two fleets, maybe more".Īn initial boarding was made by Wallace and Teague, who broke contact without explanation, as did a third man, Krell, sent afterwards to investigate. The Liberator was found drifting parallel to the London after a battle. ![]()
