In the Cosmic Era, humans genetically engineered a new breed of human called Coordinators. When the Naturals grew resentful of them, they drove them away from Earth. The Coordinators eventually settled in colonies called PLANTs, and tried to repair their relationships with the Naturals. But peace would never come to pass. As the tensions grew between the two sides, war became inevitable.
In the midst of a raging battle, Kira, a young Coordinator finds himself battling against his own kind in order to protect the lives of his friends.
