Alien Worlds was produced and broadcast in 1979 and deals with the interplanetary peacekeepers on Star Lab. It was created by Lee Hansen, who also produced and directed all 26 broadcast episodes in two seasons. The series was syndicated and both seasons were often broadcast back-to-back.
The science fiction show was first syndicated by Watermark Inc. after Lee Hansen was hired as their creative director. After advancing the concept of an action-adventure dramatic radio series, Lee began developing the concept in the fall of 1978. Watermark premiered the first episode, "The Sun Stealers", on January 7, 1979.

Eventually over 500 top-rated US FM radio stations, along with stations in New Zealand and Australia aired the series. Between 1979 and 1980, 26 half-hour programs were broadcast at various times on weekends, where they gained favorable worldwide press acclaim.
