An eccentric comedy about space, and the Dipsh**s that end up in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top icecream truck in space, in a universe where that's shockingly common. His trusty crew of valiant randos, Marley the tech-bro stoner spacebunny, Duffy the plump and sassy female mechanic, Roy the frigging fabulous Android, and also that other chick is there. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. with a crew of 3-5 and an IQ of also probably 3-5, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately offensive and overwhelmingly childish scenarios as the crew battle impossible odds, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Romance, Politics, Originality, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh**s find themselves...IN SPACE.

With the help of extraterrestrial allies, mankind has settled itself comfortably in a safe spot within the predominantly peaceful community of the Galactic Council. Well, most of mankind. From the ashes of the Secession War rose multiple warring human states that challenged the way of life of Earth-based worlds. One such example was the Rukhovian People's Federation, also known as the PRF. The never ending conflict between the Counter Aggression Treaty Organisation and the brutal armies of the xenophobic PRF have raged on for another two bloody years. With war plaguing the human space, Earth's military alliance must find a way to keep every other warring human faction at bay without the help of her extraterrestrial allies. On the other side, hell bent on eradicating the authority of Earth and it's people, the Rukhovians will do whatever it takes to win the war, even if it needs to commit war crimes. But when the PRF decides to raise its twisted sword against the colony of Euphoria, the most brutal and bloodiest battle between the two human superpowers begins. As a new recruit in the USF's 25th Infantry Battalion, Raptor Company, Private Kevin Frost and his allies will lead the counter offensive against the PRF. Being the best of the best, Raptor Company will conduct multiple strategic and tactical strikes against the enemy.
