Episodes include:
Mega-City One, 2077 AD. Home to over 800 million citizens, this
urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic
North America. On one side is the polluted Black Atlantic, and to
the west is the blasted radlands of the Cursed Earth. Overcrowding
in the metropolis is rife, unemployment is at ninety per cent,
boredom is universal and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — a
zero-tolerance police force empowered to dispense instant justice
— can stop total anarchy. CADET JOE DREDD — together with his
clone-brother Rico — is a rising star in Justice Department, and will
one day be its finest officer. Make no mistake, he is the Law!
The outer reaches of the galaxy. ABELARD SNAZZ is the man
with the double-storey dome — a mutant whose reputation as the
cleverest being in the universe is known on every planet in every
system. Such is his tremendous reasoning power, civilisations
from every corner of space have sought him out to help solve
their problems. If you’ve got the cash, and you’ve flattered his
enormous ego enough, then Snazz will come up with a solution.
Unfortunately, his record on actually improving a situation is kind
of spotty, and even his loyal droid manservant Edwin is starting to
think that maybe Abelard’s ideas are not always helpful...
Nu Earth, just one planet among many caught up in a galactic war
between the Norts and the Southers. Strategically vital, both sides
are desperate to secure it but use of chemical weapons during the
conflict has rendered the atmosphere poisonous. Now, soldiers
must wear special suits to venture onto its surface — to breathe
Nu Earth’s air is highly dangerous. So the Southers created the
Genetic Infantrymen, bred to be immune to the planet’s lethal
cocktail of pollutants. The female equivalent, known as ‘G.I. Dolls’,
were meant to be restricted to work on the orbiting command
centre Milli-Com — but VENUS BLUEGENES has other ideas...
Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number
of stories waiting to be told. These cautionary tales pass from
traveller to traveller in the spaceports and around campfires on
distant planets, acquiring the status of legend, their shocking ends
a salutory lesson in hubris. Anything is possible in these twisted
trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions,
and expect the unexpected. Time travel has always been a dream
of scientists throughout the centuries - the chance to explore eras
in either the past or the future. But so far the technology has
always eluded them — until now...
Mega-City One, 2142 AD. Psi-Division is a section of Justice
Department that specialises in Judges with accentuated psychic
talents — from precognition to exorcism, projection to pyrokinesis,
it deals with all manner of paranormal crimes, and is often the city’s
first defence against supernatural threats. Cassandra ANDERSON
is Justice Department’s top telepath — warm, empathetic and often
flippant, she’s not your usual Judge, and she still sees the good
in the Big Meg’s citizens. Given that Psi-Judges are often highly
strung, their occasionally disrespectful attitude is overlooked as
long as they continue to get results...
