Malo Korrigan (full English title Malo Korrigan and the Space Tracers, French title Malo Korrigan et les Traceurs de l'espace) is a French animated television series with 26 episodes, created by Arthur Qwak and Norman J. LeBlanc of Futurikon. It is a Futurikon - Tooncan - M6 Métropole Télévision - Canal J co-production and distributed by M6 Métropole Télévision.

After a centuries long intergalactic war, peace finally reigns in the universe. More than 200 planets have joined together to form the Cosmocratic League with the aims of maintaining the peace and promoting the economic development of space. Interplanetary transport has become a vital service in maintaining the stability and unity of the League, with vast profits being made by some companies such as the powerful and ruthless Krill-Fireng Consortium. Only a handful of independents remain, rebellious and valuing their freedom, facing many dangers to deliver their cargo in record times. They are the Tracers, and the most famous of them all is Malo Korrigan and his crew aboard their ship, the Starduke.

Malo Korrigan - Captain of the Starduke.

Jonas Pequod - Starduke's engineer and cook

Cyana Baahra - Starduke's pilot

Yago Carcharias - Chief henchman of the Krill-Fireng Consortium

En route to Oort-Kali[*], the Starduke collides with an old spacecraft which has drifted in space for more than 20 years. Malo and Cyana board the ship and discover a functioning cryogenic chamber containing a young alien girl named Eba Sahäda. She is from the planet Sharatan, and carries a deadly virus. They find out the Consortium is after her, but it is not long before the entire crew is infected with the virus.

Almost broke, Malo agrees help search for a cargo of Gruiks[*] - a kind of large pig intended for the galactic fast food market - which have disappeared into a stellar vortex. He is accompanied by Mr Smith, the CEO of Gruik Bio-food. The mission, which at first seemed routine, quickly becomes dangerous when Malo discovers that the cargo of pigs have genetically-enhanced intelligence, and are self-aware.
