Season 1 Story
In the distant future, alien war machines control most of the Earth and have reduced it to a barren wasteland. A small band of resistance fighters in America, led by Captain Johnathan Power, set out to make their way to Washington, the capital of the machine empire, and battle the army drones along the way.

At the end, they arrive at Washington and begin an assault against the huge mech-control tower. Only Jennifer 'Pilot' Chase makes it to the control room. She orders the team to abandon the mission, telling them that she will follow their battle cruiser in her shuttle. However, she activates the tower's self-destruct mechanism and dies in the explosion.
