Blake's 7

Roj Blake had led a rebellion against the Federation which had been put down. Brainwashed, Blake had renounced the rebellion he led and was leading the life of a normal citizen until he was brought out of his brainwashing by a new group of rebels. Again, that putative rebellion was quashed and Blake was framed for crimes he didn't commit, and exiled to a prison planet. En route to exile, Blake and a group of prisoners managed to escape from captivity and take control of a mysterious, and very advanced, alien spaceship which they called the Liberator and resolved to fight back against the Federation.
