'''Interplanetary Space Command''' was an organisation which existed in the [[29th century]]. They operated at least two [[space station]] beacons in orbit around [[Jupiter]], whose 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]])
'''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]])


==History==
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 [[Mondasian Cyberman|Cybermen]] who planned to destroy Voga. ([[DW]]: [[Revenge of the Cybermen]])

* Commander Stevenson

===Space Stations===
 
The ISC operated at least two space facilities:
 
* [[Nerva Beacon]]
* [[Ganymede Beacon]]
 
''It is possible that the Ganymede Beacon is not, in fact, a space station, but some other type of base or facility.''
 
===Weaponary===


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.

==Background Information==
:''It seems a safe assumption to conjecture a link between the Interplanetary Space Command and the [[International Space Command]] of the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]].''
 
* The connection between the Interplanetary Space Command of the 29th century and the [[International Space Command]] of the [[20th century|20th]] and [[21st century|21st centuries]] is unclear.
