Complete story — includes the ending

When a slipstream error throws the Andromeda back in time to the climactic battle of Nietzschean-Commonwealth war, Dylan and his crew must not only decide whether or not to interfere, but which side to interfere on. Ultimately, it is discovered that the Nietzscheans arrived at the Witchhead Nebula with 1,500 ships, three times more than was said to have been in the battle. The crew realize that their intervention is necessary to preserve history, and Dylan devises a strategy to destroy two-thirds of the massive fleet. When this plan succeeds, Tyr reveals that he knew the truth about the fleet size discrepancy all along – from a Nietzschean legend in which Andromeda ' s actions were attributed to "the Angel of Death" – but that no one at the time knew what really happened. With history back on track, Andromeda returns to her own time.
