Synopsis

With a full-scale war between the Peacekeepers and the Scarran empire about to erupt, stranded astronaut John Crichton holds the one piece of wormhole technology both sides are willing to tear the galaxy apart to obtain. As old allies and enemies converge for a final confrontation, Crichton and the crew of the living ship Moya must decide whether sharing that knowledge will save the galaxy or doom it.

Context & Trivia

Farscape leaned on Jim Henson's Creature Shop for prosthetics and alien makeup throughout its run, but two of its regular main characters, the deposed ruler Rygel and the ship's living pilot, Pilot, are entirely Creature Shop puppet creations rather than actors in makeup. In The Peacekeeper Wars, both were operated by a team of puppeteers, including John Eccleston, Dave Collins, Sean Masterson, Graeme Haddon and Tim Mieville, with Jonathan Hardy voicing Rygel and Lani John Tupu voicing Pilot, continuing performances they had built across the original series' four seasons.
