History WMG / Raumpatrouille

* The episodes ''Planet außer Kurs'' (RP) and ''The Doomsday Machine'' (TOS) are based upon the same event. While the Planet Killer in the latter episode never headed towards Earth, the motif of an enormous and seemingly unstoppable object directly threatening our home planet appears several times within the Trek franchise, e.g. in ''Film/StarTrekTheMotionPicture'', ''Film/StarTrekIVTheVoyageHome'', TNG - "The Best of Both Worlds", ''Film/StarTrekNemesis'', ENT - "Countdown", and ''Film/StarTrek (2009)''[[note]]By the way: While it was more an im- rather than an explosion, the destruction of Vulcan in this movie happened to look quite similar to the effect the Overkill weapon has when fired onto a planet.

* The Frogs (RP) are a tough one. They could be the Klingons (TOS), Romulans (TOS), Tholians (TOS), Gorn (TOS), Borg (TNG), Xindi (ENT), or even the Dominion ([[Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine DS9]])[[hottip:*:Who says that the [[ManchurianAgent traitorous]] Oberst Villa who did return from Gordon was actually the ''real'' Villa, and not a Changeling?)]]. Keep in mind that there is at least one recorded attempt to attack Earth directly (similar to what the Frogs did in RP- ''Planet außer Kurs'' and RP - ''Invasion'') for each the Romulans, Borg, Xindi and Dominion.

At the end of the ''Raumpatrouille'' episode he appeared in, Sciene Fiction author Pieter Paul Ibsen stated that he will from now on only write about the ''Orion'' crew. And this is exactly what he did - after attaining access to a TimeTravel device and arriving in the [[TheSixties 1960s]]. Here, he pitched the story about an intrepid star ship crew to the Bavaria Atelier [=GmbH=] in Germany, as well as to the DesiluStudios in the USA, the latter together with a young author named GeneRoddenberry, who was currently trying to work out the details of his own story concept (called by him ''WagonTrainToTheStars'') when they first met.[[hottip:*:Later, he traveled even further back in time, changed his first name to [[Creator/HenrikIbsen Henrik]], abandoned the Sci-Fi genre altogether, [[YouWillBeBeethoven and instead became a famous playwright]]. But that's a story for another day...]] Of course, any attempt to tell which of both shows will turn out to be the more accurate depiction of humanity's spacefaring future is futile (yet). Perhaps both versions are merely BroadStrokes. But let's make a few assumptions:

* While where are talking about ''Planet außer Kurs'': The ''Orion VII'' dying a fiery death and afterwards being replaced by the ''Orion VIII'', a ship that looks and is named almost identically, is reminiscent to the fate of the ''Enterprise NCC-1701'' (''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock'') and Kirk's subsequent command of the ''Enterprise NCC-1701-A'' (''StarTrekTheVoyageHome'').
