Prodigium makes up of five nebulae: the Dragon Nebula (home of The Imperium); the Hydra Nebula (home to the Kloi race); the Kraken nebula (home to the Nikith and Vanneran race); the Yeti Nebula (home to the Teelee race); and the Griffin Nebula where a colony named Nü Vegas was established on a planet by stranded humans (referred to as the Solar race) of a prison convoy with no way to return to Earth. The main protagonist features a Solar known as The Captain, a former resident of Nü Vegas and the newly self-proclaimed owner of Mary Celeste, a spaceship he found mysteriously drifting across the galaxy without any of its original crew left. As the story progresses, The Captain joins an underground movement along with his new harem of female crewmembers to topple The Imperium rule over Prodigium.
