[Off Topic] Explanation for non german SciFi Friends:

"Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion" (Space Patrol – The Fantastic Adventures of the Spaceship Orion) is a cult German science fiction TV series that aired in 1966. It is often compared to the original "Star Trek" series due to its similar themes and time of release. Here's a brief overview

Overview

Setting and Premise: The series is set in the distant future, around the year 3000. Humanity has advanced technologically and established a peaceful, united government known as the United Earth. Space travel is routine, and Earth has a fleet of spaceships tasked with exploring and protecting the galaxy. The story primarily follows the crew of the spaceship Orion.

Main Characters:

Major Cliff Allister McLane (played by Dietmar Schönherr): The fearless and often rebellious commander of the Orion.

Lt. Tamara Jagellovsk (played by Eva Pflug): A strict and by-the-book security officer from the Galactic Security Service assigned to monitor McLane.

Lt. Mario de Monti (played by Wolfgang Völz): The loyal and humorous helmsman.

Lt. Hasso Sigbjörnson (played by Claus Holm): The ship's chief engineer.

Lt. Atan Shubashi (played by Friedrich Georg Beckhaus): The ship's astrogator and navigator.

Lt. Helga Legrelle (played by Ursula Lillig): The ship's communications officer.

Plot: The Orion crew undertakes various missions to protect Earth and its allies from external threats. The series explores themes of exploration, diplomacy, and conflict, often featuring encounters with alien civilizations and mysterious phenomena. Despite its serious themes, the show also includes moments of humor and light-heartedness.

Production and Style: "Raumpatrouille" is known for its low-budget, yet imaginative special effects and set designs. Household items were often used as props, contributing to its unique and somewhat campy aesthetic. The series' black-and-white visual style and futuristic, minimalist sets are iconic and nostalgic for fans.

Cultural Impact: Although only seven episodes were produced, "Raumpatrouille" has had a lasting impact on German pop culture. It has a dedicated fanbase and is often remembered fondly for its pioneering role in German science fiction television. The show's theme music and opening sequence are particularly well-loved.

Comparison to "Star Trek":

Similarities: Both series premiered in the mid-1960s and share a focus on space exploration and futuristic themes. They each have a charismatic and somewhat rebellious captain, a diverse crew, and episodes that blend adventure with moral and philosophical questions.

Differences: "Raumpatrouille" is distinctly German, with cultural references and humor that reflect its origin. It is also shorter, with only seven episodes, compared to "Star Trek's" three seasons.

In summary, "Raumpatrouille – Die phantastischen Abenteuer des Raumschiffes Orion" is a beloved German sci-fi series from the 1960s, known for its adventurous spirit, creative production design, and enduring legacy in German television history.
