Firefly

Set 500 years in the future, the series follows the nine-member crew of Serenity, a small transport spaceship. They travel the 'Verse' on the fringes of civilized space, taking on dangerous jobs and evading the Alliance, the totalitarian government that controls the galaxy. The crew is a motley collection of veterans of a lost war, smugglers, and outcasts trying to make a living in a harsh and unforgiving universe.
