The Red Rover: Origins
Summary: In the distant future, seven teenage explorers, who have spent their entire lives in the blackness of space, embark on an epic journey of discovery and wonderment throughout our infinite universe, which will subsequently unlock the full potential of their minds, bodies and souls.
The Yellow Rover: Bad Moon Rising
Summary: With the first unexplored planet designated for discovery finally upon them, Delly Moore and crew of the Yellow Rover are unceremoniously shown that this new world is not one that great civilizations are built on, but rather the kind that can leave them in ruins.
The Red Rover: Clash of the Celestials
Summary: With their resources falling to critical levels, the Red Rover is compelled to land on a mysterious new planet to replenish them; where much to their collective surprise, the inhabitants of this world readily welcome them with open arms.
The Yellow Rover: Aviatrix
Summary: As the minutes dwindle, so do the hopes of extracting the survivors left behind enemy lines along with it. The remaining members in space must formulate a new strategy for terrestrial engagement from an alien moon base; where alas—an even more dangerous enemy arises that looks awfully familiar.
The Red Rover: Frequency of Distress
Summary: Still intent on locating any surviving members of their Rover community, Marius and the cadets are ambushed by a band of space mercenaries, who steal and plunder their ship while selling them into servitude to an advanced alien civilization that needs their labor to re-gain control of their fallen kingdom.
The Red Rover shall return!
