Ep 12. The Dark Backward

The Dark Backward is the twelfth episode of the third season of Andromeda. The episode starts with the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant receiving a distress signal from a mining colony on an ice planet. The crew responds and finds out that the planet is suffering from a massive ice-age age, which threatens to wipe out the entire colony. The Andromeda crew discovers that there is a possible solution to save the planet: they must detonate a large explosion that will blow a hole in the planet's crust, allowing warm air to rise from the planet's core and melt the ice.

However, in order to perform this desperate maneuver, the Andromeda crew will need two vital components that are currently in the hands of two of the galaxy's most dangerous beings. One of these components is being held by the infamous space pirate, Loki, who is known to be nearly unbeatable in battle.
