Line 12: Much like the [[Solaris Games]], the show's fortunes suffered in [[3050]] with the news media beaming footage of the war into homes in the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Federated Commonwealth]].

In its fourth season, the Bounty Hunter crew were captured by a somewhat shady retired general, who pardoned them in exchange for working for the very unnamed government that had been chasing them. Little more than blatant propaganda to tap into the general hatred of the [[Clans]], the Bounty Hunters now faced a nameless "enemy", with plotlines that paralleled the course of the Clan War.<ref name=IP-83/> Much like the [[Solaris Games]], the show's fortunes suffered in [[3050]] with the news media beaming footage of the war into homes in the [[Draconis Combine]] and [[Federated Commonwealth]].
