One of the few songs contended to be in the Locrian mode, but few actually believe it due to the harmonic problems[1]. OTOH, here's one that truly is, thanks to being nothing but bare melody: Dust to Dust/The Gravedigger's song.

Why Locrian Mode doesn't exist: Of all the seven modes derived from the major scale, Locrian is the only one considered to be a “theoretical mode”–one that our ears cannot actually hear. While there are supposed examples of Locrian mode, naysayers can argue that while these songs appear to be Locrian on paper, we hear them as a combination of chords borrowed from different parallel modes (“modal interchange”) or as being in a relative key.*

First, let’s explore what makes this particular tonality so interesting. Locrian is the only mode with a tritone interval and no perfect fifth (relative to the root note, not between the other notes of the key–in other words there is fi but no sol [see solfege chart]). This means that the root chord of a Locrian song is a diminished triad, which is comprised of the root, a minor third, and a tritone (the tritone would be called a diminished fifth in this context). It is this tritone that makes a diminished triad inherently unstable. While root chords are supposed to sound like a point of resolution or finality, tritones are so unstable that some say our ears can usually only hear them as going somewhere; we cannot hear a I diminished triad as ‘home.’

Pumping music for nostalgic space(d out) trippers. We're going back - way back, into time....

Heading in the general direction of Andromeda galaxy i'd say. Pays to start out with a full tank. And plenty of munchie bars.
Lucky that in real space adventure sci-fi, one never has to s**t or p**s. Just chatter and go into action as required. Neat.
