A deliberately bizarre, darkly comedic space opera that treats apocalyptic stakes and surreal character dynamics with irreverent absurdism rather than earnestness.

A Time Prophet predicted that Kai would be the one to destroy the divine order in the league of the 20,000 planets, someday that will happen, but not today. Today a cowardly security guard, an undead assassin, a female with a body designed for sex and a robot head madly in love with her all make up the crew of the spaceship Lexx, the most powerful weapon in the two universes.
