The comic was named for the Starslip drive, the main form of [[FTL]] for the universe, which actually ''slips'' between [[Alternate Universe|parallel universes]] and is normally kept to a very close set of universes where you switch places with a copy of yourself in that universe. Because so many alternate universes use the drive the changes are so small as to be non-existent.
Originally named "Starshift Crisis" until a potential copyright issue with the video game ''<nowiki>StarShift: The Zaran Legacy</nowiki>'' caused Straub to change it to "Starslip Crisis" in the "Overdrive" storyline. Afterwards all mention of Starshift was changed to Starslip in not only the domain name, [[Orwellian Retcon|but the comic itself.]] And after "The End of The End" the comic was shortened to simply ''Starslip'', and given an [[Art Shift]] to boot.
Main characters include Memnon Vanderbeam, the fussy, arrogant curator of the ''Fuseli''; Cutter Edgewise, the drunk ex-pirate who is now Fuseli's pilot; Mr. Jinx, a cirbozoid, a [[Stoic]] insectoid with [[Bizarre Alien Biology]], whose race has repeatedly faced extermination at the hands of others.
