that he had earlier discovered that Blake was alive and living as a bounty hunter on the planet Gauda Prime. In an attempt to recruit Blake for his purposes, Avon and his team traveled to Gauda Prime but their ship was damaged by security forces on the way and the crew was forced to abandon it. Tarrant, the pilot, crash-landed on the planet. Blake encountered Tarrant when examining the crashed vessel but did not reveal that he was using the guise of a bounty hunter so that he could test those who claim to be against the Federation, all the while running a large anti-Federation recruitment campaign on Gauda Prime. Tarrant escaped Blake's custody before Blake could explain everything to him. Unfortunately, Tarrant informed Avon of what he believed to be Blake's betrayal. Avon did not wait for an explanation and shot Blake dead. Avon and his crew were surrounded by Federation troops led by Arlen, Blake's confidant. Arlen explained that Blake "said he could no longer tell who was Federation and who wasn't. He was right. He couldn't". This revealed that Arlen herself was a Federation spy who secretly knew Blake's real agenda.

By the final series, Vila and Avon are the only two original members of the Seven left. They share a common cynicism and focus on material success as demonstrated in "Gambit". They clearly respect each other's skills and work together effectively ("Killer"). They often sparred over Avon's ruthlessness and Vila's cowardice. In "Space Fall", Vila suggests killing Avon, anticipating that Avon would scheme to have other prisoners thrown out of an airlock.

Initially as fanatical as Blake in fighting the Federation, she, along with Gan, became the moral "conscience" of the crew, once even questioning Blake whether destroying Star One was worth the "many many (innocent) people" he would kill as a result. She even questions his entire crusade, wondering if he has made them all 'fanatics', to which Blake becomes defensive. Cally has come a long way from the rebel who would kill until she was killed on Saurian Major, developing the conscience which Blake never showed in his terrorist acts.

considered him to be quite lecherous. The rest of the crew are aware of this; during the episode "Headhunter", Vila remarks that he was a "...perfect gentleman" to Muller's wife, to which Tarrant replied "That's what bothered us." However, Vila is capable of genuine affection and concern for his female friends; despite his lecherous comments and flirtations with her at the outset, his relationship with Kerril developed quickly into love, with Vila offering to sacrifice himself so that Kerril would escape. Similarly, during the episode "Sand" he was shown to be very upset with Soolin when she mentions Cally's death.

The old Federation has fallen to be reformed under the leadership of the four leaders known as The Quartet (two male former military leaders, a male economist and Dr. Pandora S (a ruthlessly ambitious female scientist)) who co-exist in an uneasy alliance. Avon has been living in exile; even though he has no ship or shipmates to help him, he has his own plans and agendas for survival. Old enemies (including 490:", Blake was approached by members of a new resistance organization preparing to strike against the Federation once more. As Blake took time to consider the revelations about his past, he witnessed the massacre of the group by Federation troops.

During the journey, Blake escaped aboard an abandoned highly advanced spacecraft, the 518:
centre, the computers controlling climate and commerce for hundreds of worlds—a scheme that Avon and Cally thought to be morally ambiguous because of the thousands of innocent lives it would cost. His first attempt was also his first big failure—an attack on Earth's Forbidden Zone at the location publicly advertised as Control was actually an empty room. It was revealed that the real control was somewhere secret and that the advertised location was a decoy. This failure resulted in the death of Olag Gan.

She left her home world to help the resistance fighters on Saurian Major and was subsequently exiled by her isolationist people. When a chemical poison was dropped on the rebels, she was the only survivor and was determined to make a suicide attack on the base until she met and joined Blake. She was initially ashamed to return to Auron because she was the only survivor of the resistance. 483:, and his resistance group was massacred ("Seek-Locate-Destroy"). Blake was subsequently brainwashed into denouncing his resistance activities, stripped of his memory of the events and placed back into society as an "ideal model citizen" to break the morale of the resistance.

Ultimately, however, Travis fails too egregiously for Servalan, who required of him not only the downfall of the resistance movement, but calculated assistance in her manoeuvring for total galactic ascendancy.
