Scorpio (Blake's 7)

Scorpio is a fictional spacecraft featured throughout the fourth season of the British science fiction television series Blake's 7. It is a freighter, noted by Tarrant as an early Mk II "Wanderer-class" planet-hopper.

Scorpio was owned by an alleged salvage operator named Dorian, who had a base on the planet Xenon. Dorian rescues the crew of the recently destroyed Liberator, who are stranded on the planet Terminal. The Liberator crew later kill Dorian in self-defence, occupy the Xenon base and use Scorpio for their own purposes.

When not in use, Scorpio was docked in an underground silo within the Xenon Base. When in flight, only the flight deck part of the ship would normally be pressurised and if the crew needed to go to another part of the ship during flight they had to pressurise that area first. Unlike Liberator, which was superior in speed and weaponry to the Terran Federation's finest warships, Scorpio was initially disadvantaged in comparison. It was slow, ungainly and has little weaponry until the crew modify the ship to increase its capabilities. In the episode "Power", Avon and Orac complete construction of a teleport system for the ship, similar to that seen on Liberator (Dorian had started to create a teleport himself but failed). In the episode "Star Drive", Scorpio is fitted with a new, experimental engine called the 'photonic drive', developed by Doctor Plaxton. This vastly increases the ship's speed to the equivalent of Time Distort 15 but in real time (i.e. without the need for the ship to move into a "time-distorted" dimension) thereby making Scorpio faster than the Liberator had been. The photonic drive is powered by light rather than plasma.

She was caged in a room without any way to get out.
She was lost in a darkness which she could not figure out.
Couldn't stay there anymore.
She was trapped and couldn't get out of there.
No nightmare is comparable.
She's been abused as a slave and she's suffering.
She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)
She saw a chance to escape, she'd run through broken glass.
Wouldn't feel anymore pain in that prison of slavery.
Now she's running for her life.
She was used to be chained, but now she's out of there.
No nightmare is comparable.
Now she's free like she is supposed to be.
She felt the pain, (She felt the pain)
dreaming of freedom, dreaming of light. (Dreaming of light)
She'd find a way, (She'd find a way)
running for freedom, running for light. (Running for light)
[Guitar solo: Patrik]
