Drunk space captain + broken Finnish software = accidental planetary genocide. Oopsie.
The world was been conquered by Emperor James B. Pirk with the help of the Russians. Now everybody must speak Finnish and a huge space fleet is built. Captain Stöcklin joined the P-Fleet, after signing up while being very drunk. His first mission is to test a new FTL drive (the Hadron Twistdrive), since the original design did not work. In the beginning everything works fine, when they want to shut down the drive, the system doesn't react due to a software bug. The ships goes out of control and destroys a planet by accident.
Practical Effects
Glorious cardboard spaceships and visible duct tape aesthetic
Writing
"Hadron Twistdrive" — physics puns that physically hurt
Acting
Genuinely committed performances to utterly unhinged material
Director
Fabienne Gschwind
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the legendary Finnish Star Wreck parody franchise that started as a five-person student project in 1992 and grew into a cult phenomenon predating mainstream sci-fi parody saturation.
The 'Russians help conquer the world' plotline riffs on Finland's complex historical relationship with Soviet/Russian influence, filtered through absurdist space opera.
