## Synopsis

Generations after corporations conquered space, the mobile suit industry is ruled by the Benerit Group — and its heirs attend the Asticassia School of Technology, where disputes are settled by formal mobile suit duels. Into this arena walks Suletta Mercury, an earnest, socially hopeless transfer student from the frontier planet Mercury, piloting a machine called Aerial that responds to her like a living thing. One duel later she's entangled with Miorine, the group president's sharp-tongued daughter, and every faction in the school — while the adults around them play a far bloodier game with technology that should not exist.
