English Summary:
Star Command (secondary title In the Fold) is a 1996 television film written by Melinda M. Snodgrass and directed by Jim Johnston, which was originally intended as a television pilot produced by Paramount Television.
At an unspecified point several centuries in the future, a unified Earth is exploring and colonizing the galaxy. One of its earliest colonies, the planet Cynosura, has declared independence and is attempting to establish its own sphere of influence as Earth's rival. The already tense situation escalates after Earth discovers and claimed a ideally habitable world named Meraz; after negotiations over joint access to Meraz break down, the Cynosurans decide to seize the planet by force. Meraz is undefended, as the Cynosurans have made it clear that they would consider the stationing of an armed garrison there tantamount to a declaration of war.
At the orbital headquarters of Earth's Star Corps, a class of graduating cadets is assigned their new postings. Seven of the new ensigns: Oort, Fujisaki, Pressler, Vallas, McGinty, Dundee, and Jackson are assigned a training cruise on the corvette Surprise, in the company of only two experienced officers, captain Ridnoer and first officer Ivorstetter.
The Surprise begins its patrol, which includes a docking with an Earth carrier. Meanwhile, a Cynosuran task force of five heavy cruisers intercepts a mail ship headed for Meraz and tortures its pilot to death for information.
The Surprise jumps into the Meraz system and is almost immediately ambushed by the Cynosuran task force. Vastly outgunned and with its FTL drive disabled, the corvette flees. After both of the ship's officers are lost in action, Ensign Oort assumes command. The trainees manage to fake their ship's crash on the moon of a gas giant, and the Cynosurans resume their cautious approach to Meraz.
Hungarian Summary:
Vésőkig szennyezett, túlnépesedett és szegény Föld, az űr végtelen gazdagságában látta utolsó mentsvárát. Kolóniák létesültek távoli bolygókon, és kezdetét vette egy csak az amerikai vadnyugat meghódításához hasonlítható áttelepülési láz. Az egyik kolónia, a Sinosura, kikiáltotta függetlenségét, és flottájával leigázta a közeli világot. Eközben a földiek rábukkantak egy paradicsomi bolygóra, a Merasra.
