Plot

During the year A.D. 2058 hostile aliens attack the human colony at Clayad, the third planet of the Ypserlon system which was located 43 light years away from Earth. Because of this the colonists on Clayad have to escape from the planet as soon as possible. During the confusion some of the human children become strayed from their parents and escape in the training combat space ship, the Janous. With the help of the ship's defense systems (which include the advanced and powerful VIFAM aerospace combat mecha) they manage to arrive at Belwick, the fourth planet of the system where other humans supposedly live. However, upon arriving they discover that the colony at Belwick had already been destroyed by the aliens too. After this the 13 children decide to escape to Earth by themselves using their ship.
