Set in a universe where humans have colonized the galaxy, and in one
star system, men and women are completely segregated (on completely
different planets:
Mejere by the women,
Taraak by the men) causing the gender war to be more than just a metaphor.
Male protagonist Hibiki Tokai, a third-class laborer, takes up a bet to steal a high-tech humanoid robot, known as a
Vanguard,
from a male attack force battleship about to fight the "evil females."
Still on board when the battleship takes off, Hibiki is caught in a
battle with female pirates that causes all of the ship's crew to
evacuate, except for Hibiki, Duelo McFile, and Bart Garsus. Stuck on
board and held as prisoners by female pirates, things seem to have hit
an all-time low for Hibiki until the retreating males retaliate by
firing torpedoes at the ship to prevent it from falling into women's
hands. The
Paksis Pragma, the mysterious, living core of the battleship, eradicates the missile, forming a
wormhole
that sends the pirates and warship to a distant part of the galaxy,
fusing the battleship with the female pirates' vessel. The fusion
results in a quirky ship with very smooth lines, a host of technical
problems, and various hidden capabilities that become apparent later on.
The Vanguard Hibiki attempted to steal has also been altered along with
three of the women's fighters, known as
Dreads, allowing the separate ships to combine. The fusion of Hibiki's mecha with one of the fighters is called a
Vandread, the
eponymous mecha.
In this alternate, futuristic universe, men and women (at least on
Taraak and Mejere) consider each other to be completely separate species
(Hibiki gains the nickname "Mr. Alien" from Dita Liebely, the female
protagonist), and the three men put up with much abuse at the hands of
their female captors, but gradually make their presence accepted: Hibiki
as a mecha fighter and technician, Duelo as a skilled doctor and
engineer, and Bart as the ship's helmsman and navigator.
The story of the first season revolves around the crew's trip back to
the system where their respective home worlds are. Along the way, they
encounter strange, robotic machines, both enigmatic and rather
Borg-like,
though they do not communicate at all. After a few attacks with the
unknown enemy, the crew manages to take some alien data samples from a
desert planet. The data is read out: "Blood platelets, white blood
cells, red blood cells..." Their alien enemies kills human beings and
harvests their body parts from them. Not only this, but a later
encounter with the flagship of the "
Harvesters," the name given to the enemy, reveals that the robots were sent out by the people of
Earth, the same planet humans originated from, whose colonists would eventually colonize Mejere, Taraak, and countless other planets
