Stargate Universe

In the first of two episodes, Young interrogates Telford and learns that the Alliance intends to board the Destiny. Recognising the imminent danger, the crew decides to launch a pre‑emptive attack as a precaution to safeguard their ship against the approaching threat.

Incursion – Part One is the opening instalment of a two‑part programme, presented in the format of a single episode. As the first half of the story, it sets the stage for the events that will unfold across the pair of installments. In this segment, the character Young conducts a rigorous interrogation of Telford. Through that questioning, Young uncovers a pressing threat: the starship Destiny is about to face an incursion by Alliance forces intent on boarding the vessel. The revelation of this imminent danger forms the crux of the episode’s tension. Recognising the seriousness of the situation, the crew of the Destiny decides not to wait for the Alliance to make its move. Instead, they organise a pre‑emptive strike aimed at neutralising the boarding threat before it can materialise. This proactive approach underscores the urgency conveyed by Young’s findings. The episode concludes with the crew launching their forward assault, setting the narrative in motion for the subsequent part of the story. This decisive action serves as the pivotal moment that bridges the two halves of the programme, leaving the audience poised for the developments that will follow in Part Two.
