A colorful, optimistic animated adventure about young misfits discovering belonging and purpose through Starfleet ideals, built on ensemble warmth and the comfort of a found-family structure.

A motley crew of young rebellious aliens commandeer an old Starfleet ship and must figure out how to work together while navigating a greater galaxy, in search for a better future.
