In the 2070’s giant aliens invade Earth, “blow it up real good” and are temporarily beaten off, but at the cost of most of the men of the planet. Now in the 2080’s the alien monsters are back and teen-aged girls are being used as cannon fodder instead of teen-aged boys (who have instead been given the traditional job of “go make the tea”).
Aboard the secret vessel number 113, the Koryu, Sonic Diver Unit team members Eika, Otoha, and Karen help protect against the Worm threat with their mechs.
No wonder why the Earth is kicked when the aliens start to invade. First, the Earth forces try to attack city block-sized alien monsters with planes that are 80 or 90 years old, then, the city block-sized aliens can’t be destroyed by nuclear weapons. Instead, the Earth forces fight the aliens with lolis in power suits with a strange look.
- 2079 CE Since their sudden appearance, the mechanical cell clusters, known as the Worms, begin sweeping away the human race on a massive scale.
- 2081 CE After losing one-third of the population in the war with the Worms, humanity overcame their national differences and united behind a single force.
- 2083 CE Not being able to turn the situation in their favour, humanity decided to permit the use of weapons of mass destruction. And they succeeded in the annihilation of the Worms. However, the price they paid was enormous. All the major continents were broken apart. Antarctica disappeared, and half of the remaining land mass was submerged. The largest damage this war caused was the loss of 90% of all military-age personnel, namely men in their twenties and thirties.
- 2086 CE The Worms, once thought to have been eliminated, began their activities again.
