Story[]
Eight Luck was one of the many trading companies working on the terraformation of areas outside Earth, after the exhaustion of Earth's natural resources. Mainly operating on Mars, Eight Luck was one of the biggest established terraforming companies, second only to the Jin-Sei Corporation set on Japan.
After some years of relative peaceful competition, the companies started attacking each other over the mining areas. Eight Luck successfully took over various smaller companies, intending on conquering Mars completely so as to establish a monopoly on the minerals outsourcing. In response to Eight Luck's attacks, Jin-Sei formed an alliance with the Japanese Defense Force, creating a space fighter program called Scarlet Lotus Team (SOQ), which utilized a new laser technology named Non-blind spot All-range Laser System (NALS). Hiring the best pilots and mercenaries, the SOQ are sent with the mission to protect Jin-Sei's areas and eliminate Eight Luck's war machines.
