Armored Trooper Votoms 1: Uoodo City
Rent For 100 years the star systems of Gilgamesh and Balarant have been locked in a war whose cause was long ago forgotten. Now, an uneasy truce has settled across the Astragius Galaxy. 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.

Traveling to the war-torn jungles of Kummen, Chirico signs on as a mercenary in a bloody civil war--and discovers the guiding hand of the Secret Society behind the conflict. But fate intervenes once more. Amidst the burning jungle, Chirico is swept up by events that not only reunite him with Fyana, but also bring him face-to-face with his deadliest opponent yet, Ypsilon--a deadly Perfect Soldier with a score to settle!

Armored Trooper Votoms 3: Deadworld Sunsa

Unable to alter course, Chirico and Fyana discover that whoever--or whatever--is controlling the ship seems to know more about Chirico than he knows about himself. As Fyana's life hangs in the balance, a devastating revelation awaits Chirico in his final battle against Ypsilon. Also, the Balarant are anxious to get their hands on a live perfect soldier...
