In an [[Alternate Universe]], Shirotsugh "Shiro" Lhadatt is a slacker from a middle-class family in the kingdom of Honneamano, who dreamed of flying airplanes since he was young -- but his grades weren't good enough, so he ended up as part of their fledgling space program, the eponymous [[Title Drop|Royal Space Force]]. The program is essentially a joke -- a collection of old dreamers assembling test rockets and a few young slackers and ne'er-do-wells rejected by the real military and twiddling their thumbs when they're not being guinea pigs. Then, on one night on the town, Shiro sees a young woman passing out religious pamphlets in the middle of the red-light district; for not entirely pure reasons, he takes one, and meets the woman, Riquinni Nonderaiko, later. During their meeting, he's amazed at her enthusiasm when she learns that Shiro's an astronaut in training. Riquinni seems enraptured at the thought of man literally and metaphorically ascending beyond the sinful world, and Shiro's agreement becomes more genuine by the second.
