Gene
Roddenberry's EARTH: Final Conflict is set in the near future, after the arrival of an advanced alien
species called The Taelons.
They claim peaceful intentions, and call themselves "Companions".
World leaders welcome these aliens, who help us with some of Earth's
most pressing problems - war, famine, disease. "Companion" popularity
soars. They establish diplomatic relations with Jonathon Doors
(David Hemblen), who founds The Resistance, an underground movement
to expose the Taelons' agenda.
While
capitalizing on
the devotion of the masses, The Taelons secretly began trying
to harness Earth's human resources. In hidden labs, they conducted
frightening bioengineering experiments on kidnapped human subjects.
Over time, The Taelons themselves come under attack. When
one
of their
world
leaders is
killed by a probe unleashed by The Jaridians, a race of warrior-like
aliens bent on destroying them. The incident prompted Da'an (Leni
Parker), the Companion leader assigned to the United States,
to appoint Major Liam Kincaid
(Robert Leeshock) as his new Protector.
Kincaid,
a Human/Kimeran hybrid with unique mental and physical powers,
took up the secret mission of his murdered predecessor to discover
The Taelons' real motives. While serving Da'an, he spearheaded
covert operations for The Resistance, eventually stepping in
as it's leader
when
Jonathon Doors makes a failed bid for the White House against Taelon
sympathizer U.S. President Thompson (Barry Flatman). Doors ultimately
lost the election after Thompson was wounded in an assassination
attempt blamed on the Resistance.
As Gene
Roddenberry's EARTH: Final Conflict - No Refuge begins,
President Thompson has declared a state of emergency and civil
liberties have been suspended. Volunteers, recruited and trained
by the Taelons, have joined forces with the national police
to arrest all suspected Resistance supporters. When Liam and
Augur (Richard Chevolleau), the
computer
genius behind much of the Resistance's intelligence, are besieged
by a group of Volunteers, the darling and mysterious Renee
Palmer (Jayne Heitmeyer) comes to their rescue. Later, the
two are surprised to discover that renee is working for former
Resistance leader Jonathon
Doors.
As
The Jaridian threat escalates, it becomes clear that the duplicitous
and ruthless Zo'or (Anita la Selva), head of The Taelon Synod,
will stop at noting to ensure Taelon survival, even if that
means destroying Earth. The more empathetic Da'an, who abhors
his colleague's diabolical tactics, alters his failed strategy
of open contact with Zo'or and overtly shifts support to him
while secretly plotting to unseat him from power. Hoping to
form a Human/Taelon Alliance in order to defeat the Jaridians,
Da'an must walk a tightrope, alternately helping and harming
both sides in an effort to serve the greater good.
Meanwhile,
courageous Captain Lili Marquette (Lisa Howard), a Taelon shuttle
pilot and prime mover in the Resistance, becomes
an unwitting pawn in a devious plot hatched by by FBI Special Agent
Ronald Sandoval (Von Flores), Zo'or's personal liaison and bodyguard.
As
the story unfolds, Liam must take is upon himself to rebuild
the devastated underground. In a high-level meeting with Resistance
leaders from around the world, he argues that excessive contact
between individual groups made the Resistance far too vulnerable.
Persuading them to decentralize, Liam now becomes the liaison
for the entire movement.
