Chapter 1: Rest It is the year 2163. The trans-dimensional fighter R9-Arrowhead has returned from its mission to destroy the evil at the center of the Bydo Empire. Badly damaged, it has been rescued by the battle cruiser Croque-Monsieur, and brought back to Earth's orbital space fortress, Aegis. Chapter 2: Observation Astronomers in Central Asia watched as strange objects began to fall from the sky. As the objects approached closer to the Earth, they shrank in size and disappeared from sensors. The astronomers, assuming the objects to be meteorites, paid them no further attention.
