Starship Operators

Synopsis

The 73rd class of cadets at the Defense University of the small planet Kibi embarks on a shakedown cruise aboard the fleet's new starship "Amaterasu" as a fitting final exercise before graduation. While returning to their home planet, they are stunned to receive news that the aggressive Kingdom has declared war on Kibi. After their planetary government surrenders without putting up a fight, the cadets decide to wage their own war from the "Amaterasu." To secure funding, they strike a deal with a galactic news network—and suddenly find themselves the "stars" of their own "reality show." Unfortunately, this is the kind of reality show that can get you killed.
