War with the Scarran Empire. Tension between both factions led to a outbreak of
war during the Peacekeeper Wars.
Farscape
"My name is John Crichton (I'm lost), an astronaut, (shot through a wormhole) in some distant part of the universe (I'm trying to stay alive) aboard this
ship (this living ship) of escaped prisoners (my
friends). If you can hear me, (beware). If I make it back, (
will they follow)? If I open a door, (are you ready)? Earth is unprepared (helpless) for the nightmares I'
ve seen. Or should I stay, protect my home, not show them you exist. But then you'll never know … the wonders I've seen."
