Story

In 2248, the first recorded sign of extraterrestrial life was detected from Mars. The signal emanated from the planet, from which an object was moving out of the solar system at the speed of light. Scientists on Earth read the signal but did not know what it was and warned the world's defense systems in case aliens detected the signal and followed it to Earth to destroy it. Eight years later, the aliens followed the signal into the solar system and began attacking the human spacecraft that awaited them in orbit around Neptune. The battle between the humans and the aliens spread to the entire solar system; within two years, Neptune was disintegrated, Jupiter was transformed into a star, and more than half of Earth's continents sank due to rising sea levels and the planet's changing axis as a result. Kaoru Yamazaki, the lone fighter pilot of the Dino246, is one of the few survivors of the Pulstar attack force formed to save the solar system from the alien invaders; only through her might humanity have a chance to survive the alien threat.
