It’s Lumi’s first day on the USS Octopus after graduating from the command academy. Exploring space and protecting the timeline has always been his dream- and now it’s really happening. Except, he’s starting from the bottom and his team is...well. You’ll see.

Shade Force is a scripted sci-fi fantasy comedy audio-series (podcast) created by RJ Tolson. The story follows the titular USS Octopus (BAS-1925), a small-level AI exploratory space vessel in the Galactic League of Planets (GLP), a 26th-century interstellar alliance of Earth and many other planets. Within the GLP is an organization called the "Shade Force", whose members spend half of their month protecting the timeline from meddling and the other half exploring space. After arriving on the Octopus, Lumi, a fresh Shade Force academy graduate meets the newly formed ragtag "C" team, made up of misfits that excel in their occupations but have unconventional personalities. Lumi must lead his alien team members as they protect the timeline while exploring space and discovering delicious new galactic bagels.

The Shade Force Original Soundtrack (score) was composed by Ronald Tolson II. This episode was co-produced by Kevin E. Wood and Joanna Lewis, directed and written by RJ Tolson, with editing by CapriTaurus Media. For a full list of this episodes cast and crew, visit our website our IMDb.
