Percy Montana emerges from hyperspace unaged, while fifteen years have passed in the outside universe. In the second season, the show was restructured (and retconned). In the United States, these monologues were removed. When broadcast in Canada each episode began with a long message transmission from deLuna (usually to Dante) outlining Dante's current assignment and deLuna's philosophical thoughts about it.

The Orchard comprises scientists and researchers dedicated to unlocking, in hopes of controlling, alien genes called 'The Divinity Cluster'. Lucrecia has a hidden agenda, as an operative for a mysterious organization called 'The Orchard'. Aiding him are the ship's engineer Percy Montana (Dante's niece) and security officer Lucrecia Scott, a former marine added to the crew by deLuna to keep Dante focused on the missions given him. Dante took the job to provide a means of traveling while also financing the search for his son, Travis, who was abducted a decade prior by a group of brigands called Raiders. In the first season, Tulip is owned by Rudolpho deLuna who has hired Dante Montana as a bounty hunter. Non crew people and space transport hubs generally refer to the ship as the 'Trans-Utopian'. The letters that remain have become her nickname, so she is casually known to the crew as the 'Tulip'. The owning company's name, 'Trans-Utopia Cruiseship HHS', was painted on her side but the paint has faded, leaving some letters readable while obliterating others. Starhunter follows the exploits of the crew of a retired luxury-liner refitted to serve a late-23rd century bounty-hunting crew, led by Dante Montana (Paré). Music for the show's opening credits was composed by Donald Quan for the first season and by Peter Gabriel for the second season. For season two, they were handled by Optix Digital Pictures in Toronto, Canada. For season one, special effects were handled by Das Werk from Germany.
