The one Ensor's son was flying?

Space Assault Troops. Another layer of the Federation's military. Given that they are "Space" one must assume some connection to Space Command, or did the left hand of the Federation armed forces not know what the right hand was doing?

It always interests me how familiar Avon/Blake/whoever seem to be with all the different groups. I know the plot needs to be moved along, but I can tell you that most people are entirely unfamiliar with the layers of politics and different departments and institutions. It just amuses me how blasé the characters are "Oh yes; those are the crack troops of this arm of the BLAH BLAH BLAH."

Yes, indeed.

One would imagine that nice white painted floor would up a little singed when it takes off.

Hello Pilot, nice to see you! Cold here too - it would be nice to have some summer some time.

How far north are you, Anne? It's warm and sunny here on Virn. And very, very green.

Perhaps a history of rebellion makes them more able to identify the different troops?

When Vila opened the launch doors, I'm sure I could see the constellation of Orion. Albian must be quite close to Earth.

Didn't think much of Del Grant. Seeing he was Tarrents brother. Pity he got out gunned by that Cyborg....typical of Servalan's sneakiness behaviour guess that's how she became Supreme Commander & later Madam President.

How does Grant know what happened during Anna's interrogation? And don't tell me TT will explain later.

Del Grant is a cool character. He's Anna Grant's brother. The existence of mercenaries adds an interesting layer of intrigue; particularly that he's working alone (bearing in mind that the program couldn't afford a cast of millions).

Ms Virn correct me if I'm wrong...isn't Anna Avons old flame?🤔🤔🤔

Not many here I notice?🤔🤔 where is everyone? Hiding????

If the pole is 4000 miles away, does that make Albian about the same size as Earth? So not a massive planet? More likely a small, close sun?

Is he a former Space Command officer, selling his expertise?

Seeing nothing planned this weekend might have a B7 marathon even tho seen the series multiple times still get a buzz when I watch them in particular ORAC & BLAKE (final ep).

I wouldn't dream of saying that he's dull on the other thread! Judging by people's avatars, he seems to be very popular.

He's not pompous enough to be Space Command. Maybe a terrestrial SAS type.

He seems quite pompous to me! But yes, more planetary experience than deep space.

YAY! My daughter has just completed the first 12km of her London - Brighton (100km) charity walk. Made it to the first checkpoint.

We clearly move in very different circles. Grant is quite laid back. More the survivalist type without the Bear Grylls hype.
