Interplanetary Space Command
Interplanetary Space Command was an organisation which existed in the 29th century which operated at least two space station beacons Nerva Beacon and Ganymede Beacon. Both orbitedthe planet Jupiter. The ISC's job it was to direct space traffic traveling from Earth to Pluto. Their chain of command ended with a higher authority/headquarters known as Earth Centre. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)
The Nerva Beacon, assigned to orbit the planetoid Voga for thirty years, was apparently struck by a plague that wiped out nearly all of the 50-strong ISC crew. Only three of the crew (Commander Stevenson, Lester and Warner) and one observer survived. It was soon discovered that the plague was in reality an infection spread by an invading Cybermen who planned to destroy Voga. (DW: Revenge of the Cybermen)
ISC officers had access to bullet-based ballistic sub-machine guns. The exact capabilities of these weapons are unclear, although they are not powerful enough to penetrate Cyberman armour.
Uniforms
ISC personnel wore brown shirts, trousers, boots, tie and a jacket. The ISC insignia is displayed on the right breast. A tab displaying the officer's rank stripes is pinned to the left breast.
- Commander - 3 gold stripes on breast tab, 1 looping gold stripe on epaulettes, 1 gold aigulette.
- Unknown - 2 gold stripes on breast tab, plain epaulettes.
- It seems a safe assumption to conjecture a link between the Interplanetary Space Command and the International Space Command of the 20th and 21st centuries.
