“Where fantasies are real & reality is fantastic.”

The peaceful planet of Jillucia has been nearly wiped out by the Gavanas, whose leader takes orders from his mother rather than the Emperor. King Kaiba sends out eight Liabe holy seeds, each to be received by a chosen one to defend the Gavanas. Each recipient, ranging from hardened General Garuda to Gavana Prince Hans to young Terrans Meia, Kido, and Aaron all have different reactions to being chosen.

A gloriously cheesy, psychedelic trip through space. Expect wild visuals, bizarre creatures, and earnest heroes battling cosmic evil with a distinctly 70s flair. It's pure, unadulterated retro sci-fi fun.
