Cowboys vs. Pirates: A New Idea
Dispatch 001: Captain Tracy leads the Moonshine Crew to the dusty corporate wasteland of Brenner 7 for their first real dispatch job. What starts as a simple freight run turns into a standoff with the Skull Pirates, a confrontation with Marshal Robert, and a deeply suspicious invoice.
The episode kicks off the series with exactly the right kind of chaos: broken systems, stubborn idealists, and a crew trying to carve out a path in a rigged galaxy. Also, a surprise alliance with freelancers and a robot sheriff. The pirates might not even be the worst part.
