Earth was attacked by the Drakh, who released a plague into our atmosphere. The plague was leftover Shadow tech, and designed to adapt to whatever environment it was introduced to, over time. Earth has approximately 5 years before the plague finds the right gene sequence to wipe out all life on the planet.Crusade focused on the crew of the Excaliber, a new prototype ship built by the Alliance. Its mission was to explore uncharted regions of the galaxy in search of a cure for the plague.The series was screwed over from the start. TNT was the channel backing the show, and right away they wanted to make changes that the creator (JMS) did not like. Stuff like, more combat, more fistfights, sexier women... y'know, turning it into Star Trek: Voyager. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />JMS resisted the changes, even though he was forced to actually rearrange the airing of episodes to fit some things that TNT did change (watch the uniforms and sets change at a certain point). TNT finally cancelled the show, citing 'poor ratings' as the reason.</blockquote>
