The plot is simply this, four guys, a knight, a pirate, a scientist, and a baron, travel across the universe, searching for the source of imagination; they inevitably come across a perfectly cubic planet, and land on it. This source of imagination could make any idea come to life...

So the Baron, after going mad on the journey, creates the Maelstrom, a threatening chaotic force. This turns against him and drags him into the source of imagination, where he presumably was absorbed. The source turns dark and is eventually plugged up with the remains of their ship, exploding the planet into fragments.

The remaining crew eventually call upon the help of every available person in the Universe, and help ward off the Maelstrom's dark minions, the Stromlings.
