10 years in the past, the city of Tokyo was consumed by an unknown darkness. It started off as a black speck in the sky. As it grew in size, it consumed everything in its path, creating the area known as the "Lightless Zone." Now, from the darkness arises beings known as "Imashime" ("The Warning"), attacking people during the night. Humanity's only weapon against these Imashime are the "Vess," fighting machines equipped with a piercing weapon that can stop the Imashime from regenerating itself. Saginuma Akashi is at the top of his class when it comes to piloting the Vess. Now, he and a select other few have been selected to be the first battalion to invade the "Lightless Zone" for the first time.

The "Abductors", invaders from Altair, come to the planet of Vega with only one purpose: to harvest humans. Neo-DEAVA, a military academy based near the city of Neo-Kowloon, exists to train men and women to use technologically-advanced fighter planes known as "Vectors" in order to fight back against the Abductors, but members of opposite genders are forbidden from merging because of certain "Guize stones" that block such so-called "unholy unions". The story follows Amata's and Mikono's enrollment into Neo-DEAVA, their fight against the Abductors, and the discovery of their link with their counterparts from 12,000 years ago. Based on the anime that aired from January to June 2012. Link: AnimeNewsNetwork (anime)

These two people are the teenage girl telepath, Yuiri, and her friend Io, an anti-telepath. They use their vessel mostly in demonstrations, such as competitive exhibitions with rival company Ciel's newest model.While these vessels may seem to be the way of the future, the technology can also be very dangerous. A serial murderer is on the loose, who chooses targets through a website, and the police are beginning to suspect that the killer is actually using a Metal Vessel…Main Mecha Designer: Kawamori Shouji Production Cooperation: Satelight
