"We Earthlings are the newcomers to the galactic scene," the executive producer, Brad Wardell said in a forum post. Different kinds of space-faring species are trying to hatch their schemes even before they got out from trees. He also added that the meddling apes from "Sol 3" need to be dealt with because they are threatening them to upset the plot.
Star Control is about us humans who are trying to explore the vast and unknown universe by traveling to different galaxies and planets and try to make contact with aliens.
