Commander Perkins

Via an enormous energy expenditure from the Transmitter, the Time/Space dimensions break open to allow small groups of humans to visit alien planets without transport.

Based on this premise, in this series, the protagonist Commander Randy Perkins and his friend and colleague Major Peter Hoffmann, often accompanied by the professor's telepathically gifted son Ralph, undertake voyages into alien worlds, often involving the ill-prepared Earth in intergalactic events.

They succeed; however, Ralph Common tells them that there must be a connection between Earth and Vega, since there are maps showing the area of the Mediterranean Sea.

Perkins awakes after half a year - at the same time a Vegan spaceship appears on Earth, which is later accidentally shot down (the ship creates an energy field which scrambles electronic processes in both machines and the human body).

As the Vegans poise to strike against Earth, Perkins takes a desperate gamble; against the strict orders of Colonel Jason, he hides Professor Common on a deserted Moon station and merely disables the Dimension Transmitter, since he knows that the device is mankind's only hope to end this conflict.

To his surprise, the Vegan high commander turns out to be Bordon himself, who is also revealed as the telepathic voice which had lured Ralph into the Dimensional Transmitter.

After much arguing, Perkins manages to persuade the Immortal to find the roots for the Vegan antipathy against the humans - by means of controlled time travel back to the last days of Sodom and Gomorrha.

As Perkins' group enters the city, they attract unwelcome attention and seek refuge in the house of Lot, where they find Drapondor - infected with leprosy, which is also the cause of his detachment from the expedition force.

As the events transpire as recorded in the Bible, Perkins and his group, taking Lot and his family along, manage to escape just before the Vegans drop an atomic bomb, eradicating the two cities.

After the repair Commander Perkins, Major Hoffmann and Ralph Common travel to the planet Empty, from which the fog came and investigate, how to fight the strange substance, threatening all life on Earth.

Ralph Common and all the psi-talented humans on Earth lie in dying, a telepathic power of the planet Psion seems to destroy their brains.

Commander Perkins, Major Hoffmann, Ralph Common and the robot Camiel travel to Psion investigating the cause of the attack.

The second series consists of three audio play episodes that appeared 1980 under the direction of Heikedine Körting under the label Europa.

An evacuation of the planet takes place immediately, but documents determining the galactic position of the Earth brought along by Coleman remain on Arrow.

Perkins and Hoffman, with the scientist in their company, are sent back to the ship graveyard to retrieve or destroy them, but the aliens (which resemble humanoid panthers) are alerted and Coleman begins to act increasingly irrational.

In their holding cell on Arrow, Perkins and Hoffman encounter a fellow prisoner: one of the aliens, who introduces himself as Polcor, a Galactic Weapon Master.

In addition, the cell is telepathically empowered and begins to pull the information about Earth from their minds when Professor Common rescues them.

After the two have reported, Colonel Jason realizes the value of Polcor as a source of information and sends them back - along with Ralph - to retrieve him from the cell and question him on an uninhabited planet.

Polcor, on the other hand, is punished for his deceit by being forced to watch his home planet getting destroyed by the Middle Eye.

In revenge, Polcor frees the humans and enables their escape from the Eye's ship before they can be interrogated, and with the help of Professor Common they return safely to Earth.

Humans determine Lightfire is a sacred planet which must not be set foot on by threat of annihilation of the whole race of the trespasser.

Closer investigations determine the bait planet to be consumed by a Copanian controlled black hole is inhabited after all.
