Star Fleet (no, not Star Trek related) or better for X-bomber from the japanese title is more a crossover from Getter Robo and Star Wars.
The british version actually called Star Fleet Project and the theme opening was done by the member of Queen Brian May and dubbed with english voice overs.
The tv series also makes it a little familiar for some watches as this show also has moving puppets as like the famous shows from Gerry Anderson’s Thunderbirds or Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons, the only differences are the controls of the puppets, in Gerry’s show they use ropes to control them, in the X-bomber they use Rods under the sets this way you wont see any ropes that was sometimes seen with the thunderbirds or captain scarlet and the Mysterons, later on Gerry changed they way the puppets moved in Captain scarlet Terrahawks as he did changed it into Rods.
