The Galaxy Patrol is the police force of the Omega Confederation, an alliance of planets, including Earth. The Omega Confederation is run by Lieutenant Pierrot’s parents, his mother President Pierrette and his father Colonel Pierre. The chief enemy of the Galatic Confederation is the militant Republic of Cassiopeia, led by General The Pest and his henchman The Dwarf.On their way back from what should have merely been a routine space travel mission, Pierrot, Psi, and Métro, the best team occupied by the Galactic Patrol, intercept a strange phenomenon in space: giant Cassiopeian ships flocking to carry out shooting exercises. The firepower deployed by these military maneuvers is gigantic, the extended range is huge — capable of obliterating entire planets! They stop to observe the military tests, and in the process of these three heroes reporting their encounter to the Omega Confederation, their vessel the Libellule is shaken-up by the turbulence of the energy blasts, and crash lands on the primitive planet of Apis.Half-hurt, Pierrot is collected and saved by the inhabitants of this planet, a group of men who live secretly in the mountains. These inhabitants are extremely anxious because they fear the humanoid robots of Yama, a nearby planet controlled by a supercomputer that is determined to conquer the universe. These underground rebels are also fighting the hostile native peoples on the surface of Apis.Psi is captured by the humanoids and taken as their prisoner to the neighboring planet Yama. As for Métro, he has disappeared. With help from those who saved him, Pierrot arrives on Yama to rescue Psi. Along the way he finds Métro underground and it is with his android friend that Pierrot tries to penetrate to the center of the secret city where Psi is being held hostage. Aided by a few of the rebels, they manage to cross the dams and roadblocks and reach the heart of the city. They release Psi and then are faced with the large computer long-ago designed to govern the whole of Earth. They then learn that their planet, Omega, is the next goal of the grand supercomputer and all must comply. While Omega are preparing for confrontation, Pierrot succeeds in approaching the computer and destroying its circuits before the computer successfully took control of its target planet. ______________________________________________________________Il était une fois… l'Espace (English: Once Upon a Time… Space) was a French and Japanese co-produced science fiction/space opera television series which first aired on television in France between 1982 and 1983, and on TV in Japan in 1984 as Ginga Patrol PJ (English: Galaxy Patrol PJ).
