Story
The story begins in 2052, in the Ypsilon Galaxy, where the planet Sophia the 3rd lies. Goez, the conquerer of many other worlds and self-proclaimed "god of the universe", invaded the system with the forces of the Inbem Dark Star Cluster. The Science Academy of Sophia the 3rd, managing to preserve the Nora Satellite, created the Metal Attacker, a mobile battle tank. Kane Gardner, a genius boy pilot, was drafted to pilot the tank against the forces of Goez.
