Starship

Starship is the latest of Team Starkids' musicals. Starship is set on a planet called Bug-World which is inhabited by Bugs. In this story the main characters' name is Bug (Joey Richter). Bug is an insect who really wants to become a Starship Ranger (A human space soldier). The Starship Rangers mission in this story is to colonize Bug-World. The Starship Rangers are run by Commander Up (Joe Walker) who was previously injured in the 'Robot Wars' which was one of the Starship Rangers attempts to colonize a different planet. Because of Commander Ups' injury everyone in his team believes that his not up for the job, well everyone apart from Taz (Lauren Lopez) who fought alongside Commander Up in the Robot Wars. Taz tries to keep all of the Starship Rangers in line and keeps them from saying bad things about Up, like saying he isn't strong enough or that he is "soft".



While the Starship Rangers are devising a plan to colonize Bug-World, Bug is still dreaming of becoming a Starship Ranger. A Bug named Pincer offers Bug the chance to become human and also become a Starship Ranger, the only thing Bug must do once he is turned into a Starship Ranger is bring the other Starship Rangers to Pincer for 'dinner' but Bug didn't understand what Pincer actually meant when he said this and agreed to the deal. Pincer then turns Bug into a Human and puts him into a Starship Ranger suit that Pincer had had from the last group of Starship Rangers that tried to colonize Bug-World, the only thing that Bug had left to do now was find the Starship Rangers and bring them back to Pincer.



Along Bugs' journey he falls in love with a female Starship Ranger named February (Denise Donovan), but February has a fear of bugs and Bug is too afraid to tell February about who he truly is. He also finds out what Pincer really meant by "having them for dinner" and tries to save the Starship Rangers. The only way Bug can save them though is by stabbing Pincer and taking him into the spaceships' airlock, but before he does so he confesses his love for February. In the airlock Bugs' human body gets destroyed and he returns to his true self...a bug. Bug is frightened because he believes that when February finds out that he is a bug, but despite the fact he was a Bug, February loved him. In the end they all learned to get along and no matter if they were bug or human, they lived together in harmony.
