English: Space Patrol Orion
A mid-
60s german
S-F TV Series about the Crew of fast Space Cruiser
Orion 7 on a 3-year
patrol mission on the
borders of
known space,
where they were sent as a
punisment for landing on
Saturns moon
Rhea
for the sole
purpose of proving this is possible. Only
seven episodes]
were written and filmed im
black and white (to cut costs). The
author handed out the
first
concept for the
show to
Bavaria Studio executives in 1962, two
years before
Gene Roddenberry approached
MGM and
Desilu with his
idea of
Star Trek.
I will uses some
Star Trek-terms in this node to have a
widely-know
comparisation scale for
specifications.
Technical and statistically data
-
Crew: The Orion-7 had a crew of 5 (plus extra security officer):
-
Major Cliff McLane, Commander of Orion 7
He is a impulsive man, quite like James T. Kirk, known for acting on his
own and against [orders of the ORB (Oberste Raumbehörde, quite the same
as Starfleet Command. He is also responsible for crashing Orion 1 to 6.
Because of his toughness and for being a war hero (he broke through to
the Saturn Base in the second interstellar war) he is a hero to earths'
youth.
Opposed to Kirk, whose love of his life is called NCC-1701, his love is
called Tamara.
-
Leutnant Tamara Jagellovsk
She is officer of the GSD (Galaktischer Sicherheitsdienst), a
mixture between military police and secret service. She was put in front
of McLane as security officer by the ORB to control if McLane follows
their orders.
Remember, this is a punishment mission ;)
-
Leutnant Hasso Sigbjörnsen
He ist chief engineer of Orion 7. Most noteable for his quarrels with
his wife Ingrid, who is always in fear about her husband being in
outer space. He regularily promises her never to fly to Space
again, leaving it to McLanes charme to find a reason why he has to
break his promise and tell his wife about it.
-
Leutnant Mario de Monti
Weaponary officer of Orion 7, friend of whisky and women (without
having much succes with women), with a very cynical homour, top
quote: "They are all drunk - or dead." (on a space station not responding
to their calls). He won the bronze medal in the shooting competition
at the olympics 2996.
-
Leutnant Helga Legrelle
Communication officer of Orion 7, there is not much to say about her exept
she has a crush on Mc Lane.

universe) by pointing his [Space Suits) oxygene supply at them after Hasso
