(Raumpatrouille - Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes ORION)

What seems like a fairy tale today may be reality tomorrow.
Here we have a fairy tale of the day after tomorrow.
There are no more national states, only mankind  and her colonies in outer space.
We settle on stars far-off, the bottom of the sea is developed as living place.
With what are today unimaginable speeds, the starships of tomorrow transverse the Milky Way.
One of this starships is the ORION,
a little piece in the giant security system which protects the Earth from outer space threats.
Let's accompany the ORION and her crew at their patrols-service on the edge of infinity ...


The adventures of the ORION and her crew were made by german and french tv in 1965/66. It was germans first science fiction series, made in black-and-white, and lasted only 7 episodes.
The first airing in late 1966 were a tremendous success, but
the producers decide not to make any continuation (another 7 scripts were completed) because of costs and ressources.

Fans in many countries still remember the series:
- The starship diving into the ocean landing in submarine Base 104
- Disputes between Commander Cliff McLane and his 'watchdog' Tamara Jagellovsk
- Acrobatic dances and the uncommon music
- Crazy robots and mad scientists
- The mysterious frogs, the supernova, telenose and the invasion ...

The "Starlight Casino" is an officers mess, located in the deep sea.
You can watch the fishes through large windows, wonder about acrobates mimic dancers or
simply drink another whisky.
