More than 3000 years ago, aliens from a planet called Tarn Vedra in the Andromeda galaxy invented a way to travel across the stars almost instantaneously. They called it Slipstream, and they used it to build a vast commonwealth of planets across six galaxies. When Earth was ready, we were welcomed into it.
It was a vast, diverse group of cultures working together in peace, striving to spread civilization across the Universe. Unfortunately, some factions came to disagree with the Commonwealth's methods.
The Nietzscheans - a group of genetically engineered humans who follow a strict interpretation of Nietzsche - felt that the Commonwealth was weak because it made treaties with its greatest enemies - the Magog. So they formed a rebellion and attacked the Commonwealth of which they were a part. The result was a civil war that plunged the Universe into a new Dark Age.

Well into it's fourth season in the States, this series screened on Sky Digital in New Zealand and is now available on DVD. At 2 episodes per $29.99+/- disc, 11 discs per series, this series could be considered a little expensive, but is well worth it if you liked Star Trek : NG, DS9, Voyager, etc.
Very frunky indeed. Well worth a view, so if you know a Sci-Fi buff, talk them into buying the discs, so you can borrow them. :)
Random listing from 'Entertainment'...
Professor Brian Cox takes a giant leap for humankind as images of distant alien worlds are brought into breathtaking focus. Giant ice fountains rising over 100km high; an ocean hidden beneath a frozen crust of ice; storms three times the size of Earth coloured blood red by a vortex of dust and gases; immense volcanoes that would put Mount Everest in the shade - this amazing DVD reveals the true and awesome beauty of our solar system. It's an ... more...
