| 1. | The Personnel Rosters were compiled after detailed analysis of the videotapes of all 48 "Space: 1999" episodes. The intent was to provide a comprehensive listing of all Alphan characters who appeared in the series, and to flesh out the organizational structure of the various service departments on Moonbase Alpha. Only about 120 or so characters were named on the show, and then only partially, in many cases. When a character has appeared in an episode, I have appended a notation in parentheses indicating the episode in which the character was first seen. |
| 2. | Other names were derived by me in an effort to fill the rest of the 300-plus positions in Moonbase Alpha's personnel compliment, to include all Alpha personnel still alive on the Moon as of 2130 hours, Lunar time, 13 September 1999. Source materials used to derive many of these fictitious names include The Character Naming Sourcebook (Writer's Digest Books) and Who's Who in the World, 1994 edition. |
| 3. | The mix of nationalities present on the Moonbase was determined with respect to several factors: a) The need to reinforce the premise that Moonbase Alpha was an international facility dedicated to peaceful scientific research (and monitoring of large amounts of nuclear waste) b) The need to account for the European accents used by the majority of the Alphans seen on the show c) The need to extrapolate the political effects of the 1987 global nuclear war (established by Koenig during Rules of Luton) d) The need to give weight, in terms of personnel, to those countries which could afford to contribute to the WSC/ILFC space programs. These requirements allowed for a mixture of staff which is consistent with the kind of people we saw on the Moonbase in "Space: 1999". |
| 4. | The maximum authorized personnel complement of Moonbase Alpha is assumed to be 500 people, but approximately 150 were still on "extended summer holiday" due to the "virus" rumors being circulated by the Space Commission in the weeks prior to the accident on 13 September 1999. |
| 5. | Casualties listed on the roster do not reflect losses sustained during the pilot episode Breakaway. (There were 36 total personnel deaths, plus 16 Eagles). |
| 6. | The Alien Studies Unit which appears in the roster, and has a building allocated in the moonbase's blrints, is apparently a research organization with a secret mission to investigate any alien life encountered. This is somewhat suspicious, since humanity had yet to make any contact with alien life (with the doubtful exception of the Ultra Probe monster). |
| 7. | To reconcile the shifting premises with respect to Alpha's population (presented as being 311 at the beginning of the series, and 298 during Devil's Planet in Season Two), it was necessary to postulate a further twenty-nine births, in addition to Jackie Crawford's, to bring Alpha's population back up to 298 after accounting for personnel fatalities. |
| 8. | Timeline problems crop up during the show. To alleviate these problems, I have taken the liberty of assuming that dates in Helena's log entries during Season Two are in reference to the last time the Moon was technically in orbit around the Earth: during the Season One episode "Another Time, Another Place". I have placed that episode ahead in the chronology so that the two seasons' timelines no longer confusingly overlap. |
| 9. | Season Two's personnel roster reflects all physical and personnel changes made between the two seasons on "Space: 1999". The Eagle accident responsible for taking the lives of Morrow, Kano, and Alexandria was related to the search for spare materials on the Lunar surface which would be useful in opening the underground Command Center as the new central control room. Bergman was lost in space, accounting for the inability of the Alphans to re-use his artificial heart to save Michelle Osgood's life. |
| 10. | Season Two's roster also reflects all changes made in Alpha's personnel hierarchy throughout Season One, such as the transfer of certain personnel into the Eagle Pilot Corps and Hydroponics Section to replace critical losses; the organization of the Lunar Surface Exploration Teams, and the disbanding of non-essential services (such as Earth-Moon Telecommunications). |
