1.	Outlaw World	1998.01.08
Gene Starwind and Jim Hawking run a company named Starwind and Hawking Enterprises on the backwater planet of Sentinel III. They do odd jobs to get by from bounty hunting to auto repair but Gene still has dreams of venturing back out into space. One day, a woman named Rachel hires them to be her bodyguard during her stay on the planet. When it turns out the Kei Pirates are after her, things get a little out of hand - but just wait until you see what the cargo is they are after!

2.	World of Desires	1998.01.15
The girl, Melfina, awakens from her sleep but there's no time to get answers with the Kei Pirates laying siege to the warehouse. Jim and Hilda launch her pirate ship, Horus and after a narrow escape, they all make it up into space. Though Gene is enthusiastic about becoming a spacer, it seems he is something of a cherry. Arriving at the asteroid colony of Blue Heaven, the group takes a load off and meets up with some of Hilda's acquaintances. These are definitely not old friends though and things are about to get pretty rough.

3.	Into Burning Space	1998.01.22
After dealing with Mccoy, Gene and the others make a hasty getaway off Blue Heaven. Departing while being chased by Mccoy's henchmen, they nearly collide with another ship under the command of Aisha Clanclan of the Ctarl-Ctarl Empire. In a fit of rage Aisha takes out the pursuers but Hilda manages to get away. After reaching the rendezvous point, they discover the wrecked ships of Hilda's friends. With Gene beginning to overcome his fear of space, they narrowly escape the ambush set up by the Kei Pirates, and the Horus now sets off for Farfallus.

4.	When the Hot Ice Melts	1998.01.29
Arriving at Farfallus, the group docks at a storage facility disguised as an asteroid where they power up the pirate's secret mothballed ship. The ship, the XGP15A-II, is a blend of federation technology and pirate ingenuity - making it one of the most formidable ships in space. The kei pirates locate Farfallus as the ship is still being prepped but changing loyalties on the pirates' side throws things into disarray. The new ship comes at a heavy price and Gene has an appropriate name for it: The Outlaw Star.

5.	The Beast Girl, Ready to Pounce!	1998.02.05
After returning to Blue Heaven, it turns out outfitting a spaceship isn't exactly cheap. After some haggling, the crew convinces Swanzo to equip the Outlaw Star with a registration ID and a new paint job as repayment for a past debt to Hilda. As the trio spends the night out on the town, they bump into a cloaked woman looking for Hilda - but this is no ordinary woman! Fighting an angry Ctarl-Ctarl is a good way to end up in an early grave but fortunately Aisha's stomach gets the better of her. Taking Aisha out to eat to make amends doesn't exactly work out so the crew has to leave Blue Heaven in a hurry once again - this time back to Sentinel III to finish outfitting the Outlaw Star.

6.	The Beautiful Assassin	1998.02.12
Heading back to their homeworld of Sentinel III to pick up more equipment for the Outlaw Star, Gene gets in touch with an old friend, Fred Luo.

Agreeing to be Fred's bodyguard in exchange for outfitting the ship, Gene will have to face off against an assassin that never misses her target.

8.	Forced Departure	1998.02.26
While Gene recovers from the assassin's attack, the others must fend off the pirates as the Outlaw Star prepares to launch.

9.	A Journey of Adventure! Huh?	1998.03.05
Setting a course for Heifon to avoid the pirates, Gene decides to stop at a station along the way to make a little money and a name for himself.

If they just brought down a cyborg decoy, then who was it that managed to get the real Zomba anyway?
