The passengers of the railways are protected by two forces, the Space Panzer Grenadiers (SPG) and the Space Defense Force (SDF). This is the story of Manabu Yuuki, a new member of the Sirius Platoon within the SDF. He and his new crewmates meld together as a team through their dealings with escaped criminals, meteors, hostile aliens, a time vortex, ghosts and terrorists before defending mankind from its greatest peril yet.
