Synopsis:

In a future where interstellar travel is commonplace, Gene Starwind yearns for a life beyond the mundane tasks of his existence on the planet Sentinel III. His aspirations shift dramatically when he and his associate, James Hawking, are hired for a seemingly routine protection mission. Their charge: a mysterious young girl named Melfina, unknowingly connected to a treasure-hunting endeavor led by their employer, Rachel Sweet.

This unexpected assignment catapults Gene and James aboard the Outlaw Star, a technologically advanced vessel, launching them into uncharted territories. The series follows their journey as they contend with a diverse cast of characters – from ruthless bounty hunters and opportunistic pirates to enigmatic mages and peculiar inhabitants of distant worlds. As they protect Melfina and unravel the secrets surrounding her origins, Gene confronts his own aspirations while navigating a universe teeming with both peril and possibility.
