Starship Regulars , a toon that run on Flash animation site Icebox from 1999 - 2000 , was intended to parody ego - righteous military space dramatic event like Star Trek : The Next Generation and Babylon 5 . But the interstellar upstairs / downstairs clowning in many way resembles the rebooted Battlestar Galactica with its focus on the orange jumpsuit - wearing non - officers , heavy use of a fictitious swear word , and frequently intoxicated gang . In the pilot installment “ War , ” a Diedrich Bader - voiced crewman engages in a drink contest with an exotic technician while Michael Dorn occupies the police captain ’s chair and faces down a more classic extraterrestrial foe . Showtime bribe the rights to Starship Regulars in 2000 with an eye toward developing a live - action serial publication , which , unhappily , never do to fruition . The entire 10 - instalment run is still available onIcebox . Starship Regulars[Icebox ]
