Series Synopsis

A group of eccentric Starfleet officers are forced to serve together on an obsolete, salvaged vessel. Honestly, if you want to know more, read the stories. Or the season summaries, I suppose.

Season Summary

Season 1 - Captain Stafford and crew find themselves stuck on an ancient, outdated wreck of a ship. After enduring an accidental trip to the past, a game of wits against an evil construction crew and a hellishly twisted virtual reality, they finally get underway. Early missions include evicting a crowd of hillbillies from another salvaged vessel and chasing down the pirate K'Eleese after her attack on Waystation. Following this, Silverado was sent on an exploratory mission to unknown space. A minor plumbing accident along the way left the ship dead in the water for several weeks, until Stafford and [[Simon Jeffery|Jeffery] finally triumphed over the evil delivery company's call center. The ship was briefly taken over by a very sexy race known as the Senousians. From them, they learned of the evil Matrian Empire. The final stories of the season detailed a Matrian plot against Silverado and the crew's efforts to overcome it.

Season 2 - Still recovering from the aftermath of Season 2, Stafford and crew briefly return to Waystation before undergoing a detailed refit at Deneria Dry Dock. Missions in Season 2 included mishaps with an Infinite Probability Drive, a holographic Road-Runner chase, Star Wars brainwashing and a trip to visit crazy old K'Eleese on Tantalus V. Events in Season 2 also included a visit with T'Parief's family, leading to the season finale in which T'Parief's father teamed up with K'Eleese to build an army of mutant aliens in a parallel universe. A terrifying, horrible universe containing perfectly competent versions of the Silverado crew. Many new characters were introduced in this season, including the Hazardous Team.

Season 3 - The events of Season 2 left a void on the ship. The remaining crew-members work to resolve their differences while Jeffery and Sylvia travel to several different Operation Salvage ships. A series of kidnapping attempts against Sylvia force her to go undercover. Mid-season, the ship is sent on a mission to the mystery planet of Deloria II. Attacked by the forces of Lord Stalart, the crew evacuates the ship and finds themselves scattered across the planet. Different stories of Season 3 detailed the efforts of the crew to reunite, defeat Stalart and make their way off the planet. They succeed, and it seemed for a moment like everything would be OK. But Commander Noonan's sudden resignation leads to complete chaos as different officers bicker over who should become the new First Officer.

Season 4 - In progress. Go read it.
