What is Mission Top Secret About?

This Australian TV series tells the story of a secret group called the Centauri Network. This network is made up of children from all over the world. They work together to fight crime and solve tricky mysteries. They use amazing gadgets that were very advanced for their time!

How the Centauri Network Started

The story begins with Jemma, who is 12 years old. One day, she accidentally connects to an old, unused satellite. This allows her to see and hear other computers across the globe! With help from a brilliant inventor, Sir Joshua Cranberry, Jemma creates the Centauri Network. It becomes a worldwide group of kids who use their special network to stop bad guys. Jemma is also the daughter of Sir Joshua's assistant.

The Main Villain
