Show Creators: Defiance is an upcoming American science fiction television series which is being developed for television by Michael Taylor (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine,” “Star Trek: Voyager,” “Battlestar Galactica,” “Virtuality,” “Caprica,” “Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome”), Rockne S. O’Bannon (“Seaquest,” “Farscape,” “V”) and Kevin Murphy (“Desperate Housewives,” “Caprica”).
Series and MMO: The series is being produced in collaboration with Trion Worlds who are producing a Defiance MMO video game which will be connected to the series.
Show Plot: The series is set in the near future, where aliens known collectively as Votans have come to Earth seeking a new home after their solar system was destroyed. However, when they reached Earth they discovered that despite a prolonged negotiation with the government on Earth they were not welcome. Rather than turn away, they began a war with the humans as they are determined to make Earth their new home. During the war, the Votans drop terraformers on the planet and transform the surface of the planet; scorching the earth, opening chasms in the ground and covering the surface of the planet in dust and debris. After decades of war, a ceasefire is declared when both side realise that they must focus on survival on this new almost alien planet.
Dork Note: Releasing a MMO and a TV show at the same time is pretty...crazy!
