The Sirius, Spica and Vega Platoons have all taken leave. Their vacation spot: Captain Murase's family-owned Inn on Planet Carcalla.

Manabu has been hand picked to join the Space Panzer Grenadiers, his brother's old unit.

Headquarters receives a SDF distress signal from Planet Kowloon, a bizarre world known as the Deserted Planet of Labyrinths. Big One is dispatched, with Ivanov, from Intelligence, accompanying them. Upon their arrival, the crew finds Tille and Liffle, two botanical-humanoid beings that are scientists from another dimension.

The crew of Big One mourns the loss of Bruce. And to make matters worse, the SDF has subpoenaed Captain Bulge before an inquiry panel to assess punishment for disobeying Ivanov's orders.

The Alfort Fleet continues its destruction of junction stations, and a mysterious alien voice identifies Destiny Station as the next target. With time running out, Bulge accepts what he must do.

Bulge's plan is to conserve Big One's resources for as long as possible. When the timing is right, Sirius Platoon will execute a precision attack at the heart of the Alfort command ship. Liffle's commander, Forecis, the leader of the assault on Destiny, will stop at nothing to complete his objective. Not only has the Alfort Fleet taken the lives of numerous SDF members, but the lives of galactic citizens who perished during the alien raid. The galaxy's only hope is Bulge and his crew. When two opposing forces go head-to-head, who will be the one to stay on top?

Thinking the bloodshed to be finished, Manabu is bewildered at the sight of 200 enemy ships emerging. Commander Forecis demands Destiny Station's surrender and he won't be taking any prisoners. When the battle between the Alfort Fleet and Sirius Platoon continues, Commander Forecis sheds his underlying motives. Destiny's railways and arteries running through his home galaxy have caused irrefutable damage. It's only fate that he destroys the last tracks of the Galaxy Railways. But Manabu has never been more determined to prove that people can craft their own fates. ...
