Story
In 2040 A.D., the next main Variable Fighter development project "Super Nova" progressed on the planet Eden. Isamu Dyson, who was assigned as the YF-19's test pilot, reunited with his childhood friend Guld Goa Boaman. Guld was the test pilot of the competing YF-21. Concurrently, one more friend, Myung Fang Lone, visited Eden as the producer of the virtual singer Sharon Apple, who was popular throughout the galaxy. The three people who parted company due to a past event, now meet again on Eden...

Caption: Isamu and Guld, who broke off their friendship due to a past incident that concerned Myung, reunite as mutual test pilots, and begin competing for the seat of the next main Variable Fighter. On the other hand, the artificial intelligence Sharon, who became aware, before long runs wild and drags Myung et al into the thick of things.*

* Translator's note: in the original edition, it was: "On the other hand, the Unified Forces, who tried to adopt an unmanned craft as the next main fighter, caused the AI Sharon to run wild."
