Synopsis:
The military's best kept secret is out...
Captain Cooper (Bruce Payne) and First Officer Avedon (Yancy Butler) agree to navigate a cargo mission headed for the eastern hemisphere. The flight plan requires the cruiser to exit the Earth's atmosphere and re-enter above the eastern hemisphere. But the re-entry goes terribly wrong and the ship crashes. 

While searching for a mineral needed to repair the damaged ship, the crew comes across a secret storage facility for illegal chemical weapons. With the sudden eruption of a minor earthquake, the canisters begin to tumble and one of the crew members becomes exposed to a substance known as R.A.V.A.G.E.R. 

Captain Cooper is quick to return the infected crew member to the ship for medical attention, not realizing the fatal consequences of his actions.

"There was no way for Avedon Hammond (YANCY BUTLER) to foresee the impending crisis. As command pilot of the I/P/T transport ship Armstrong, a space-weary NASA discard now used routinely in sub orbital transport runs, the attractive, highly proficient pilot has her hands full. Upon entering the ship to prepare for liftoff, she's chagrined to find that her flight has been reassigned to another command pilot, Cooper Wayne (BRUCE PAYNE), a daredevil she knows all too well -- as an ex-lover from whom she just had to walk away. Avedon is further annoyed to find that the flight is another "mystery run," no paperwork, no flight plan, and a handful of passengers on what should be a cargo carrier.
"The eclectic riffraff of passengers includes Lazarus (SALVATOR XUEREB), a two-bit hustler; Dr. Shephard (ROBIN SACHS), a skilled former micro surgeon now addicted to his own self prescribed medications; Cade (DAVID STRATTON), and edgy young man obsessed with finding the wife who deserted him; and Sarra (JULIET LANDAU), a flawlessly beautiful young woman with a mysterious past. About the only "stand-up guy" aboard is chief engineer Mick 'Clean' McClean (STANLEY KAMEL), a technical genius who's called upon regularly to repair just about every system on board the tired ship.

"After takeoff, two booster rockets become obstructed and the Armstrong is forced to crash land in a desolate, uncharted region of the South Asian desert wracked by seismic tremors. While trying to recover tridymite to fabricate new flight data circuit boards, the crew stumbles upon an underground military depository for advanced biological weapons. Cooper and Avedon are forced to pit every ounce of strength and ingenuity they possess into fighting something incomprehensible, something unspeakable... something that threatens not only their own lives and those of the passengers about the crippled ship, but the entire world!
