Only one ship stands between earth and total annihilation! The High Mobile Battleship Nadesico is the most formidable fighting machine ever conceived, but due to a shortage of trained soldiers, the crew is a little unorthodox. The poor Jovians don't stand a chance against the largest contingent of geeks and misfits ever sent into orbit!

Despite her terrifying abilities, Shiro comes to treat the dangerously powered Miyu as a younger sister. When Miyu is kidnapped, Shiro must rescue his adopted sister, even if her ability to do good will always equal her capacity for destruction.
