A society where humanity has entered into sloth, concerned only that its entertainment remain uninterrupted. An enemy capable of masquerading as beautiful women, yet burn like paper, hell-bent on invading Earth. A hero branded an outlaw, boasting a true man’s determination and unwilling to let his beloved planet fall.

When the alien Mazone murder his father, Tadashi Daiba finds himself confronted by a hostile and disbelieving government unwilling to believe his claims, let alone prepare to fight off an alien invasion. His only hope of revenge against this mysterious foe is by joining up with the most infamous of all possible allies: the stoic space pirate Captain Harlock and his eccentric crew of misfits aboard the good ship Arcadia.

With the Earth’s military holding Harlock’s final ties to Earth hostage on one side and the Mazone on the other, can the Arcadia’s crew overcome such overwhelming odds and prevent the invasion?
