Pilot / complete frame
Trust Fall
The crew attempts a morale exercise in a starship hangar. The ship survives. The team dynamic does not.
Starpaws / working roadmap
Season one: small problems, infinite space.
This is a creative roadmap, not a promise of release dates. Episodes move forward when the premise, frame, and production proof are strong enough to earn a place in the archive.

Episode idea

Episode gate
- One-sentence premise is clear.
- At least one character choice drives the joke.
- The visual brief can be produced consistently.
- The episode is understandable without borrowed franchise context.
- The final note records what changed during production.
Release rule: an episode does not need to be perfect, but it must be specific enough to teach the next episode something.
