Description

The Metagalactic Grand Prix is a galactic musical contest that brings together sentient species from across the universe. A century ago, the Sentience Wars nearly ended intelligent space-faring life, but in their aftermath, a tradition was invented to bring shattered worlds together in peace and unity. Species compete in feats of song, dance, and performance, with the stakes as high as the fate of planet Earth. The grand prix is part gladiatorial contest, part beauty pageant, and part concert extravaganza. New species that claim sentience must compete to be counted among the galaxy's high and mighty. This year, humanity has discovered a vast universe, but instead of diplomacy and gunships, they've found glitter, lipstick, and electric guitars. Decibel Jones and the Absolute Zeroes have been chosen to represent their planet on the greatest stage in the galaxy.
