In space, terrorists wear chicken outfits, heroes wear capes, no matter how many people laugh at them for it, and feisty computers refuse to allow more than one bathroom per spaceship, because "they're disgusting."

Welcome to the Swordbreaker, heirloom Lost Ship owned by Kane Blueriver (troubleshooter for hire.) Also serving aboard the ship are Millie, the greatest...something the galaxy has ever seen (She hasn't figured out yet where her talents lie) and Canal, the holographic embodiment of the ship's computer.

Together they bravely move from job to job, from planet to planet, making idiots of themselves! Hey, it pays the bills.

Meanwhile, the criminal organization Nightmare will do anything it takes to get their hands on Swordbreaker.
