STORY
Astrolog: Year 089
The interstellar weapons development ship Laevina discovers an asteroid of unknown origin along its route.
Approaching to investigate the asteroid, named Nedium, the Laevina finds itself caught in the grip of a powerful magnetic field and unable to break free.
The investigation reveals that the magnetic field emanates from inside Nedium and affects only large objects like the Laevina.
Finding Nedium impregnable against attacks from the outside, the Laevina decides to attack from within using a small ship unaffected by the magnetic field and places its last hope on Thexder, the Hyper Dual Armor prototype still under development.
