A mysterious disturbance in the [[hyperspatial vortex]] causes the Doctor and Sam to materialise the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] in deep [[space]]. Here they find that a huge derelict alien craft has become the subject of a dangerous confrontation between starships from the rival systems of [[Nimos]] and Emindar. At the center of the dispute is a ruthless politician with secrets of his own -- a man who is willing to risk innocent lives to claim the derelict for himself. | A mysterious disturbance in the [[hyperspatial vortex]] causes the Doctor and Sam to materialise the [[The Doctor's TARDIS|TARDIS]] in deep [[space]].
