Episodes include:
Mega-City One, 2076 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!
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. Mankind has always sought to find
extra-terrestrial life in the galaxy, believing that humanity is not
alone. So robots like Expectation are sent into the depths of the
cosmos to seek out evidence of alien civilisations...
Mega-City One, 2143 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. Recently, she’s become aware of incursions
by an alien species seeking to bring order to planet Earth. Realising
that they’ll attack soon, she’s chosen to head them off in space...
Earth, the far future. While the towering starscrapers and flying
cars may make this look like some idealised Utopia, crime is still
a major problem, and there’s no felon more wanted than the
nefarious Pandora Perez — burglar, safe-cracker, armed bandit and
all-round career criminal. Just when the authorities thought that
they’d finally managed to incarcerate her, her loyal robot assistant
Gort came to her rescue and succeeded in breaking her out of her
cell. Despite being a wanted woman, Pandora’s still up to her usual
confidence tricks, and now she’s looking to score a big payday by
stealing the very rare Guffwarbler...
Mega-City One, 2143 AD. Justice Dept has many divisions within it
tasked with dealing with the threats that face the metropolis. The
psychic personnel of Psi-Division, for example, are at the forefront
in the fight against supernatural foes, while Tek-Div conducts all
manner of experiments and develops advanced weaponry. The
mysterious DEPARTMENT K is a branch of the latter, whose brief
is to tackle interdimensional enemies that are seeking to break
through the walls of reality. Headed by Judge Kirby, the team is
made up of Mechanismo robot Estabon, alien Blackcurrant and
recent intern Afua, but right now they’re stuck, far from home...
