Description:    The citizens of the space colony Yietta are finally about to pay off their debts to the Federation and become an independent colony. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather not let control of the planet slip through their fingers, especially when there are military projects which exploit Yietta's resources... Enter Tita, 17 year old owner/captain of the Cha-Cha Maru. Together with her ragtag crew, Tita specializes in capturing and selling Yietta's exotic life forms for the intergalactic pet store market. Through a series of accidental meetings and plain bad luck, Tita finds herself at the very core of a sinister plot to deprive the people of Yietta of all their hard won gains. By rescuing Elysse, a 16 year old girl whose father was involved in the development of a terrible new weapon, from a group of military plotters, Tita puts the lives of herself and her crew in mortal peril...
