17. 6829: Radon Rover

(1997) Interestingly, the second UFO set was assigned a number that filled in the previous gap. One has to wonder if there was an Futuron set in that slot.

18. 6837: Cosmic Creeper

(1998) The Insectoids small set. 6837 was the last small set made by Lego for the space theme before the new millenium. 6841 numbers and onwards were reserved for the "smallest medium" sets as opposed to the smal sets that were part of this list. 6838 and 6839 have never been assigned and are the only numbers left in the range that're unused.
