A colonial war that refuses to pick a side. The Zor aren't invaders, they're coming home to a planet humans claimed by accident, and both sides are right enough to make you sick about it. The mecha combat serves the moral collapse, not the other way around. By the end, there's no victory condition, only the weight of two civilizations realizing they can't both exist on the same world. This is what happens when you strip away the hero narrative and just let two desperate peoples collide.
The year is 2120, and humanity has spread to other planets after the last great world war nearly destroyed Earth. On the colony world of Gloire, the settlers are caught off guard and unprepared when The Zor arrive. The Zor are the planet's original inhabitants, who abandoned it after nearly fatal events of their own, and now they have come back to claim their old home. Their return sparks a relentless war between the two races. The fighting grows increasingly desperate, building toward a cataclysmic showdown that neither side can truly win. The show is a dramatic mecha science fiction series built around a struggle between two peoples over one world.
