My thoughts precisely. This was straight-up junk. Characters are all cliched sterotypes. The generic dingy and dimly-lit sets reminded me of countless syndicated sci-fi shows from the 1990s.
They fly to their first inhabited planet and what's the only thing we see? The inside of a warehouse. Yup, this is a tiny-budget cable show all right. I predict that most episodes will wind up inside warehouses.
The ways this rips off Firefly have already been pointed out. The opening scene was also straight out of Pitch Black. And what's the plot...?

Could they be like samurai? Oh, how clever...
