A quirky Anglo-Canadian cartoon parody of ''[[Star Trek (Franchise)|Star Trek]]'' that ran for only 13 episodes. Captain Star's mission is to visit exotic planets, name them after himself, and sell stuff. However his superiors have stuck him on a nameless planet at the ragged edge of the universe where he naively waits for his next orders, his ego oblivious to the implications that he has been [[Kicked Upstairs]].
 
The actual work is done by his second in command [[The X -Files|Dana Scully]]-[[Captain Ersatz|Ersatz]] (just look at that hair), [[Only Sane Woman]] First Officer Scarlette. She is sort of helped by the multi-limbed, multi-headed engineer "Limbs" Jones and navigator Black, a fish-obsessed cook.

* [[Acme Products]]: Captain Star carries and sells goods by one of these companies, called "Arc".
* [[The Ace]]: A parody of such. Captain Star is called the "greatest hero any world has ever known", and a legendary captain and explorer with hundreds of worlds named after him. Despite being effectively exiled to a remote corner of the universe, he still manages to save the day on numerous occasions. On his [[Show Within a Show]], he's even more so.
