Space 1999 in RPG

Now this is interesting. Space: 1999 is a British science-fiction television program that aired for only two series from 1975 to 1977. It has a cult following and came from the brilliant minds of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson.
While its base idea was very interesting, the many different ideas that were introduced did create a lack of consistency over time.
It was set in the year 1999, The Moon among other roles was being used to store nuclear waster. When there was an explosion of some of the waste stored on the Moon's dark side. This would knock the Moon out of orbit, sending it and the inhabitants hurtling into space and on a desperate fight for survival and how to get back.

The series did  produce the amazing Eagle Spacecraft which was versatile but also incredibly clever and is still one of the coolest ship designs. They used a lot of miniatures in the show and something now replaced by CGI. It was not a cheap show to make however and this was a problem. I think it is very cool to see the RPG being made and I hope it comes with a lot of excellent lore and info. It may be a more limited run like the Dishonored RPG that Modiphius also has made. It is going to use the 2d20 system that Star Trek Adventures has made popular.

For story ideas there are a series of excellent audioplays on BigFinish.com
and Andrew E.C. Gaska has a couple of brilliant graphic novels.
