Zog, a well-meaning but anxiety-ridden humanoid captain, Clorita, a whip-smart and perpetually unimpressed engineer with a fondness for ray guns and pink boots, and Blip, a hyperactive dogganoid with a penchant for chaos, find themselves scraping through one disaster after another. From cube-shaped planets with overly sarcastic AI to meteorite-studded Ibizoid-style party asteroids, the crew’s journey is as unpredictable as the universe itself.
