The newly formed P-Fleet heads toward a remote region of space, closing in on a strange anomaly dubbed a “maggot hole.” On the bridge of the C.P.P. Potkustartti, Captain James B. Pirk — Samuli Torssonen — reflects on the events since Star Wreck V: Lost Contact. He was stranded on Earth years earlier, his ship destroyed and his crew scattered to preserve the course of history. The mood is a mix of calculated purpose and a wary memory of past losses as the ship enters the unknown.
As the tale unfolds, Pirk discovers that Earth’s history has not unfolded as expected since first contact with the Vulgars. Rather than guiding humanity to the stars, the Vulgars have been corrupted by rock star Jeffrey Cochbrane, who sold their spaceship to the Russians. With his old allies — Timo Vuorensola as Commander Dwarf and Antti Satama as Info — Pirk tracks down the Vulgar ship and wins the trust of the Russian President — Kari Väänänen — paving the way for the construction of the spaceship C.P.P. Potkustartti and the rise of the P-Fleet. This new power dynamic places Pirk at the helm of Earth, steering humanity toward a new imperial era through a blend of ingenuity and force.
With unrivaled technology at his disposal, Pirk abandons old boundaries and pushes onward. He unlocks a path through the maggot hole into a parallel universe where history has taken a different course. He announces his ambition to conquer this alternate world to Captain Johnny K. Sherrypie — Atte Joutsen — commander of Babel 13. Sherrypie resists, but his fleet is still drawn into a brutal conflict as Babel 13’s ships fall before the superior P-Fleet. Surrendering, Sherrypie attempts to lure Pirk and his security detail into a trap built on promises of shore leave and encounters with Babel 13’s female personnel.
The tides of battle turn again when Sherrypie and his crew stage an assassination attempt, only to be outmaneuvered by Pirk and his loyalists, who escape to safety. The battle intensifies with the arrival of the Excavator, commanded by Festerbester, and the P-Fleet suffers heavy losses. The Potkustartti sustains critical damage, and in a desperate bid, is set on a collision course. Bridge personnel evacuate to Fukov’s ship, the Kalinka, piloted by Sergei Fukov — Janos Honkonen. The moments reach a fever pitch as the Potkustartti rams the Excavator in a dramatic “twist core split,” a playful nod to sci‑fi tropes, destroying both ships.
With only a sliver of his fleet left, Pirk’s forces press toward Babel 13. However, Mikhail Garybrandy — Jari Ahola — Pirk’s security chief, has set the station’s reactor to blow, intending to eliminate the remaining ships at once. The blast annihilates the other P-Fleet vessels, but the Kalinka narrowly escapes through the maggot hole, spiraling toward a collision with what appears to be an ice age Earth. Pirk, Info, and Dwarf manage to beam down to safety as the Potkustartti crashes out of the sky. The ending mirrors Pirk’s original predicament: stranded without a ship in an uneventful era of history.
Back on Earth’s orbit, a veil of high‑tech debris hints at a grim, post‑apocalyptic future rather than a prehistoric past. Info suggests that Pirk should enter a power-save mode and wake in the distant future to prevent the fleet from entering the maggot hole again. The sense of possibility is replaced by a stark, unresolved stillness: the fate of Earth, the fate of the P-Fleet, and the broader question of what history may become when lines between worlds blur — a science‑fiction tapestry where ambition, danger, and odd humor intertwine in equal measure.
