Chirico Cuvie, a special forces Armored Trooper pilot, is suddenly transferred to a unit engaged in a suspicious mission to steal secrets from what appears to be their own military! Chirico is betrayed and left to die in space, but he survives and becomes a renegade, hunted by the army and by criminals alike. Taking refuge in the poluted hell-hole known as Uoodo City, Chirico is driven by a haunting image of a mysterious and beautiful woman, his sole clue to unravelling a conspiracy so complex that he cannot even guess at its depths.
