Hyperdrive

At the forefront of this expeditionary force is the HMS Camden Lock, helmed by the irrepressible, if a little tetchy, Commander Henderson. Ably assisted by a crew of misfits - the further they are from Earth the better, quite frankly - the Commander steers his ship through the stars, giving orders from his big swivelly chair. His crew? Well, you wouldn't wish on your worst enemy... or maybe you would... Experience the highs, the lows, the anti-gravity failures, the annoying talking mops, and, of course, the wars with alien races. Lots of wars. Always in the national interest, of course.
