Help me find the name of a space TV show from the early '90s

Question

I don't recall much about the show, and I think I only ever saw one episode, and my Google Fu is not up to snuff today. The episode, most likely the pilot, came out around the same time as Babylon 5 and then just disappeared.

From what I remember the show was about the (small) crew of a ship. The cockpit of the ship was a upright bed-like contraption, and the cast were investigating a ship that had a radiation leak or something adrift in space.

There was a cast member who could shape-shift, similar to Odo from Deep Space 9, and another member was a barbaric warrior. There was some sort of mystic stuff, but I may be confusing that with Babylon 5.

Overall the show was very similar, in my memory, to Deep Space 9 and Babylon 5 so I may be confusing things, but I do remember how I saw the similarities in the show to those shows and knew it wasn't the same show.

Any help?

Answer 1

Space Rangers has the barbarian aspect and I believe it also had an odd, forward facing bed for the pilot. Not sure about the shapeshifter element.

I did find a pic of the pilot's chair.
