The Super Dimension Century Orguss (TV) entry currently has two plot summaries listed, one of which contains both spoilers and factual errors:

"The story focuses on Lt. Kei Katsuragi, a fighter pilot. His mission is to protect a new bomb while it is being planted. The bomb, the Space/Time oscillation bomb. The plans go wrong, Kei has to try and stop the bomb, messes up the settings and the bomb goes off, scrambling time, space and the dimensions. The series follows Kei adventures in this new dimension after he is picked up by the Chiram, a group of techno-gypsies, and his attempt to set the time/dimensions straight. His love affair with the Cute Chiram, Mimsy, produces a child. And the story has only begun..."

In particular, the two biggest issues are:

1. Mimsy's pregnancy only happens at the end of the show, episode 31 out of 35, thus it's a big and unnecessary spoiler.

2. Neither Mimsy nor the gypsies are Chiram (Chilum in the official subs). Their race/faction is the Emaan (Emarn).

The other summary, which I added back in the day (can't remember when), could be used as a possible alternative (or, if not, then perhaps the one above should be modified):

"Fighter pilot Kei Katsuragi and his friend Olson go on a mission to escort the deployment of a new space/time oscillation bomb inside enemy territory. Something goes wrong, making the bomb explode and scrambling time, space and different dimensions. Now in a completely alien and unfamiliar environment, Kei meets the Emarn, a group of technologically advanced gypsy traders, and begins his search for a way to restore time and space."
