Synopsis: A sci-fi actioner in which the inhabitants of a mid-27th century world come under attack by the evil Kilrathi Empire. The crew of the TCS Tiger Claw must distract the Kilrathi while reinforcements... A sci-fi actioner in which the inhabitants of a mid-27th century world come under attack by the evil Kilrathi Empire.
