DoctorSF's Words

A low budget movie that uses numerous footages from the motion picture "Battlestar Galactica". Thus the spaceship called "Southern Sun" is just the "Galactica" from which leaves "Viper" interceptors (scriptwriter did not even change their name) and are attacked by pirates that are true Cylons ! Special effects might not have costed too much to producers !
