Lufy comes back wrong. She's a perfect soldier who watched herself die, and now her hands shake when they need to be steady. The Solnoid fleet needs the weapon she used to be; instead they get a woman who understands too much about what gets lost in war to be useful anymore. That fracture between what she was and what trauma made her become is the entire show, and it never looks away from it.

Paranoids and Solenoids, the second an all-female race, have fought each other for centuries, and reckless use of Planet Destroyers has cost both sides their home worlds. Lufy, found drifting lifeless in space, is taken aboard a Solenoid cruiser and revived. A hardened soldier before her death, she is now shown events that unsettle her faith and weaken her will to fight, just as the war reaches the point where she is needed most. Neither side seems able to survive the escalating conflict, though the planet Terra may still hold a faint hope. The OVA pairs mecha action with science fiction warfare.
