In the latter part of the 22nd century, humanity has established colonies on Mars and a handful of outposts orbiting Jupiter. Towering machines known as Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicles (L.E.V.) have played a crucial role in making these ambitions a reality. Over time, however, Earth's population began to regard the space settlers—whom they dubbed "Enders"—with growing distrust, imposing strict laws and harsh consequences upon them. In response, some colonists formed resistance groups, wielding advanced mechs known as Orbital Frames. A young settler from Jupiter, Leo Stenbuck, unexpectedly discovers an Orbital Frame named Jehuty. Now, with immense power at his fingertips, the question remains—will he wield it for justice, or for destruction?
