After the assassinatiion of
The Emperor of the
Raalgon Empire, the newly crowned
Empress Goza XVI declares war on the supposed perpetrators, the
United Planet Space Forces. Sounds like the standard
Space Opera so far, right? Until
Cloud Cuckoo Lander slacker Justy Ueki Tylor enters the military hoping to get a quiet office job, but when he somehow rescues an old but well-respected retired admiral, he is promptly
Kicked Upstairs to a supposed dead-end position as
The Captain of a broken-down ship and badly-behaved but
Badass Crew. But an unlikely victory for Tylor sets up a chain reaction of events leading Tylor to become a
Spanner In The Works neither side sees coming.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor takes all the old
Space Opera cliches, turns them on their head, and plays them for
Beyond The Impossible comedy. Its main gag is Tylor himself, who can't decide whether he wants to be dense
Idiot Hero Luffy relying on
dumb luck the luck of the GODS,
Indy Ploy master
Naruto,
Brilliant But Lazy Shikamaru, full on
Magnificent Bastard Lelouch hidden behind an impregnable fortess of stupidity, or a combination of any or all of the above, making
Jack Sparrow look normal and both cast and audience continually wondering
Or Is It? at Tylor's apparently accidental successes. Combine that with his God-like
pornomancer skills capable of
re-wiring AIs to have emotions, and you have one funny albeit confusing character.
