The Searcher
Propelled by plasma drive, the "Searcher" was a huge spacecraft assigned to search the galaxy to find the lost tribes of the human race who spread among the stars after World War III of the 20th century.
Crew
- Admiral Efram Asimov (Jay Garner), supposedly a descendent of the sci-fi writer Isaac Asimov
- Lt. Devlin (Paul Carr), the Admiral's assistant
- Colonel Wilma Deering (Erin Gray), a fighter pilot
- Captain William "Buck" Rogers (Gil Gerard), a 20th century Terran astronaut
- Hawk (Thom Christopher), a part human, part bird who sought survivors of his own race. He flew a hawk-shaped fighter craft.
- Dr. Goodfellow (Wilfrid-Hyde White), an elderly scientist who created an intelligent but rude robot named Crichton.
- Twiki (Felix Silla), the dwarf robot companion of Buck Rogers.
