Plot: The plot is fairly basic, and very Contra-like in that it deals with the characters Marco and Tarma attempting to stop a rebel army attempting a coup and creating a new world order.

HERE THERE BE SPOILERS. Star Trek: Prodigy represents the first attempt to reach a younger audience, if not the first animated franchise entry. As such, most of the characters aboard what we’ll learn is the USS Protostar are young, though we don’t yet know how young they’re meant to be.
