The captain and the exile voyage
Kayto Shields was inexperienced when he took over the newly built assault carrier Sunrider. After a country is conquered, ships take on the task of mobilizing combat strength, winning allies, and returning home. The story revolves around the crew's choices during the war, and also involves political cooperation, personal feelings, and each other's pasts.
The early stage of the journey
The 2013 public preview introduced a voyage between Shields and Commander Ava Crescentia from Cera to the mining planet Tydaria. These locations and characters belong to the story framework already clearly defined in early development materials; The combat system in the preview was still being modified at the time.
Combat and preparation
Battles are fought by players who dispatch aircraft carrier and mech squads on a turn-based basis. Different mechs have their own weapons and equipment, undertaking various combat missions; Before the war, limited funds were allocated between new technology research, weapon purchases, and mech upgrades. During breaks in combat, you can talk with your companions and learn about the driver's experience.
