It is the year P.D. 323. Gjallarhorn’s political interference in Arbrau escalated into an armed conflict and came to an end thanks to Tekkadan.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

News of Tekkadan’s exploits has also reached the ears of Wistario Afam, a young man born and raised at the Radonitsa Colony near Venus. Venus, which lost to Mars in the initial contest for colony development, is a remote planet in which the four economic blocs have little interest. It is now used as a penal colony for criminals, whose inhabitants don’t even have IDs.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Wistario, who hopes to change the status quo of his homeland, encounters a girl<\/a> who claims to be the guide to the “Urdr-Hunt”.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
