Set two centuries in the future, five less-than-stellar space cadet students from ‘Starcademy’ board a mysterious spaceship called the Christa, which appears in orbit around their school.
Along with their vice principal, TJ Davenport (Cary Lawrence), a busted-in-rank commander, Seth Goddard (Paul Boretski) and an android called THELMA (Anik Matern), which has a faulty memory, the five are sucked through a space warp and stranded in another part of the galaxy. They must now work together as a crew if they are to find their way home.
The students are Harlan, an earthling (Walter Jones); Bova from Uranus (Rahi Aizi), who can generate electricity; Catalina, from Saturn (Jewel Staite), who can create a devastating sonic scream; Rosie from Mercury (Paige Christina) who can radiate heat, and super-strong Radu, from Andromeda (Kristian Ayre).
Harlan is very distrustful of Radu because several years ago when the Earth was at war with Andromeda, Harlan’s father was killed by an Andromedan. The planets are now at peace, and Radu is the first Starcademy student from Andromeda. It doesn’t sit well with Harlan to have to work alongside the species who were responsible for his father’s death.
Catalina’s imaginary friend, Suzee (Rebecca Herbst), also comes to life aboard the ship.
Guests on the series included Mark Hamill (Star Wars), George Takei (Star Trek) and Bill Mumy (of Lost in Spacefame), who co-created Space Cases.
The series was filmed in Montreal.
