Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness

Two years have passed since the Great War. Akito and Yurika have vanished. The Jovians and the Earthlings have joined forces and Ruri is now captain of Nadesico B. As the popularity of Boson Jumping grows, a vast transportation network has been developed. Dubbed the Hisago Plan, this network of Chulip portals holds the answers to the mysteries behind Bose particles and their power. If those secrets should fall into the wrong hands, it could mean big trouble.

And big trouble there is. A Martian splinter group has launched an offensive, leaving the United Forces befuddled and desperate. So much so, in fact, that the former crew of the Nadesico is called back to active duty for a special unsanctioned mission to save us all. Does this menagerie of misfits have what it takes? Who will win the race for the Boson technology? And what the heck happened to Akito and Yirika?

Three years after the war between Jupiter and Earth, we follow Ruri Hoshino as captain of the Nadesico-B space cruiser. Peace seems secure, and a new colony project called the Hisago Plan is well underway -- until it is attacked by a rogue, unknown Aestevalis that has a exceedingly skilled pilot controlling it. Who is this renegade pilot, and could his arrival have anything to do with the disappearance of Akito and Yurika many years ago? Ruri will have to delve deep into her own past and that of her former crewmates as a new far-reached conspiracy unfolds...
