Humanity launched interstellar settlement by establishing the Next Colonies. Later, Next turned against its founders and formed the Next Government. The uprising escalated into a conflict, prompting the versatile Metal Vehicles—abbreviated MVs—to be repurposed for combat. At the same time, Terra, a faction of Earth's insurgents, intensified its assaults on the planet. Now an enigmatic MV‑like entity known as S.A.C (shortened to "S") roams freely, and Next seeks it to secure victory. Terra"s telepathic commander, Hal, has detected "S" and is eager to uncover its abilities. The destinies of these three powers hinge on a crew of renegades residing on the deserted Next 7 colony, though this remains unknown in the vast.
