 Uchuu no Stellvia |
Rent | In the year 2176 A.D., the solar system was subjected to a cosmically intense radiation and electromagnetic wave which caused vast disasters on Earth. The phenomenon was caused by a star twenty lightyears away from the solar system which went supernova. This was only the beginning... It has been determined that high-energy plasma from the exploded star pieces would reach the solar system within 189 years at the 0.1 speed of light. It is the year 2356 A.D. The human race has built enormous space bases called the "foundations" in the orbits of Earth, Mars, Venus, Saturn and Jupiter. The one for Earth is called "Stellvia." The show depicts the adventures of young cadets who enter the space pilot training school there with one common goal... To defend the solar system and planet Earth against the cosmic disaster and subsequent shock wave. |
