Synopsis:

The 108th Guard Squad operates from a remote base in Aomori, a unit largely disregarded within the Imperial military structure. Comprised of pilots deemed unsuitable for frontline service, they exist on the fringes, often overlooked despite the growing threat from invading forces. The narrative centers on these young pilots as their sheltered existence is shattered by the escalating conflict. Forced into combat roles they never anticipated, they must confront not only a formidable enemy but also internal doubts and the weight of a nation's defense resting on their shoulders. The series explores themes of resilience, duty, and the unexpected heroism found in those deemed expendable, set against a backdrop of dwindling resources and mounting peril.
