Synopsis:

Fifteen years after a devastating event shattered the possibility of interstellar travel, a precarious peace exists between Earth and the Martian Empire of Vers. The conflict began with Mars' discovery of advanced technology on the Moon, leading to colonization and subsequent war. Now, the fragile truce is irrevocably broken when a high school student on Earth witnesses an assassination attempt on Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia, a diplomat striving for reconciliation.

The ensuing declaration of war forces Inaho Kaizuka and his classmates to confront a formidable adversary with superior technology. The narrative explores themes of cultural misunderstanding, the consequences of war, and the struggle for peace amidst overwhelming odds. The series focuses on the human cost of conflict as a new generation grapples with the legacy of past mistakes and seeks a path toward a more stable future, navigating a complex geopolitical landscape shaped by technological disparity and deeply held prejudices.
