The original series concerns a [[Hopeless War]] between the [[One-Gender Race]] of Solnoids (humanoid females) and the Paranoids, who are an amorphous race that usually inhabits [[Mobile Suit Human|powered armor suits]]. The remaining crew of the Solnoid cruiser ''Star Leaf'' barely escape the destruction of their fleet in yet another hopeless battle, only to get caught up in a conspiracy that will have far reaching consequences for all concerned.
