In the year 2071, the Solar System is linked by a network of hyperspace gateways. Police lose their grasp on crime and a bounty hunting system has been implemented. On an old fishing starship called the "Bebop," a cool as Zen man of mystery, a macho former hard-boiled cop, a brash and fickle woman with a large debt, a whimsical whiz kid hacker and an unsuspecting Welsh Corgi band together to hunt bounty heads for a meager living. Unfortunately, they are some of the unluckiest people in the star system. These are the stories of the adventurous (and misadventurous) lives of four struggling people and a dog. Written by Edward Tivrusky IV {KilroyRoboto@juno.com}

Spike Spiegel is a regular, laid-back cowboy (popularly called bounty hunters) living with 3 others on the Bebop. Ed, the underage whiz hacker. Jet Black, level-headed ex-cop and Faye Valentine, a girl who loves spending her share of the bounties gambling. Spike and co. troll the universe for good pay-offs as Spike tries to cope with his dark past. Written by Old-fasioned Cowboy

Cowboy Bebop is an old fishing ship owned by an ex-cop Jet Black. Together with his companion, the ex-mobster Spike Spiegel, they attempt to live the harsh life of bounty hunters, known as cowboys, travelling throughout the solar system in the year 2071. They team up with the intelligent Welsh Corgi Ein, the gambling-addicted Faye Valentine and the cheerful hacker-girl Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV, always looking for new bounties. Cowboy Bebop, like the Bebop of the 40s, is a new style in itself, redefining the old overused tunes. Written by Loui Da Boss
