Malo Korrigan and the Space Tracers (Malo Korrigan et les Traceurs de l'espace in French) is a 2002, French, science fiction, animated, television series. It ran for one season and 26 episodes. The co-creators behind this were Arthur Qwak and Norman J. LeBlanc. Co-production was by Futurikon, Tooncan, Canal J, and Metropole Television, the latter of which also distributed it.

Plot[]
Several centuries of intergalactic warfare eventually lead to a truce and peace throughout the universe being restored. As a result, the Cosmocratic League was formed with over 200 planets forming an alliance to keep the peace and promote economic, space development. To keep the planets stable and unionized, interplanetary transport has been the standard service and fundamental means, as some companies, like the Krill-Fireng Consortium profiting from it. Few companies remain independent as a desire to retain their rebellion and liberty while encountering perils along the way as deliveries of goods are made on a planet-to-planet basis. That is precisely what occurs every episode, with the most prominent Space Tracer being Malo Korrigan who, along with his crew, travel in a ship called The Starduke. Malo is the crew's captain/pliot, considered to be gifted and among the first-rate in the Consortium's fleet. Previously, he was imprisoned for going against his employer's techniques and joined the Tracers once he was released. A defender of freedom and with such a good heart, he will do anything he can to help others and put his duties on hold. His shipmates are Jonas Pequod, a senior space navigator with a prosthetic hand that's handy for repairing things (both literally and figuratively); Cyanna Baahra, a cyan green, alien princess and pilot with tentacle-like arms that are elastic; and Hwik Hwik, a small, alien pet, and mascot.
