"I'm a bounty hunter, but it's just something that I do. I'm really looking for something that was stolen from me. Ten years ago, they took my son. As I search, there are signs that something is happening. That humanity is about to change. But I won't be distracted. How do you find one small boy?In such a large universe? I'm not sure. But I have to keep trying."
Starhunter follows the exploits of the crew of a retired liner refitted to serve a bounty-hunting crew. The owning company's name "Trans-Utopia Cruiseship Lines", was painted on her side but has faded, leaving some letters readable while obliterating others. The letters that remain have become her nickname, so she is casually known as Trans Utopian or Tulip.
In the first season, Tulip is owned by Rudolpho DeLuna, who has hired Dante Montana as a bounty hunter. Dante took the job to provide a means of traveling — while also financing the search for his son, Travis, who was abducted a decade prior by a group of brigands, named Raiders. Aiding him are the ship's engineer, Percy Montana (Dante's niece) and Lucrecia Scott, a former marine, added to the crew by DeLuna to keep Dante focused on the missions given him. When broadcast in Canada, each episode began with a message from DeLuna to Dante, outlining Dante's current assignment. In the United States, these monologues were removed.
