The notorious space gator, Jabba Jaw, along with his sycophantic sidekick, TNT the mouse, is cruising the galaxy in a flying party ship named The Starlite, robbing unsuspecting planets of their food supplies. Enlisting a coterie of helpful allies - including old friends the Space Guardians - and dodging an array of colorful villains, Nick, Taffy, and Clank navigate and investigate the entire star system, in relentless pursuit of the elusive Jabba and his shining ship of thieves.
