In a distant future, a mysterious alien civilization launched a campaign to conquer Earth and wipe out humanity entirely. The nations of Earth banded together to form the EDC — the Earth Defense Corps — and mounted a counteroffensive. Despite total commitment, humanity's technology fell short, and the invaders captured most of the planet. With the last EDC fortress surrounded and all options exhausted, command makes a final desperate decision: send everything remaining directly at the heart of the alien stronghold. The eccentric genius Dr. AKEMI provides the means. The objective is destruction of the enemy headquarters. The mission is survival.
