Yohko Yamamoto, a cat‑eyed 15‑year‑old arcade‑shooter prodigy from the late‑20th century who loves video games and Pocky, is recruited by the enigmatic Lawson to travel a thousand years forward and pilot the prototype starship TA‑29. With teammates Ayano Elizabeth Hakuhoin, Madoka Midoh and Momiji Kagariya, she leads the Terran forces against the rogue group Rouge and Ness’s feared Red Snappers in a sweeping space adventure.
