20: Landing Spike
Opens to provide tripodic landing pylons
21: Life Support Systems
Controls atmospheric content and distribution
22: Hydroponics Bay
Provides oxygen for life support. In process of being upgraded to use Sirian 'blister plants'
23: Hover Jets
For use on planetary surfaces
24: Drive Field Stabiliser (x4)
see 10
25: Emergency Vacuum Door
External access for main hull
26: Electromagnetic Field Unit

27: Observation Cabin (x3)
Provides direct vision outside of Galasphere. Also houses specialised equipment in use
We close on the blazing sun in space before fading to a view of ringed planet Saturn. A gyroscope-like ship, enclosed in a flickering bubble of energy, speeds past us and beyond accompanied by almost musical radiophonic tones. We see it pass the Moon before spinning away to the twilight of the Earth's curved horizon... As we hear a grinding rhythmic electronic score, we see scenes of a futuristic city under a dramatic sky. Some buildings and antennae rotate, light pours from other structures as bullet-shaped and spherical vehicles move rapidly back and forth... 'This is Earth - the year 2100. New York is the headquarters of Space Patrol and men from Earth, Mars and Venus live and work there as guardians of peace. This is the story of those men, whose courage and daring make the universe safe for us all.'
