Synopsis:

In the near future, humanity's expansion into the solar system is abruptly challenged by Obliquus, a technologically advanced extraterrestrial force. Faced with overwhelming odds, the Khronos Foundation initiates a controversial program: the creation of Khronos Gear. This project involves genetically bonding descendants of historical heroes from across the globe – figures like Miyamoto Musashi and Joan of Arc – with powerful mechanized suits.

The narrative follows these individuals as they confront Obliquus's forces, grappling with the burden of legacy and the implications of being weaponized. The series explores themes of identity, sacrifice, and the ethical boundaries of utilizing historical figures to combat a new kind of conflict. Set against a backdrop of burgeoning space colonization and interstellar war, *Khronos Gear* depicts a world where the past and future collide in a desperate struggle for survival.
