Sorceress-Major Maya Antares, her elite bodyguard Kyuzo, and a hardened street fighter named Makita lead a team of outcast soldiers, the crew of a great skybound vessel, the Skyfurnace R.S.S. Konstantinov, who have realized the truth behind their nation's lies.

Guided by the ghost of a great fallen hero, a Sorceress-Commander known only as The Red Woman, these once proud soldiers have taken up the cause of their ancestors and become fugitives from their own country.

Sentenced to death as traitors, there is no way back for the Heroes of the Red Star. They must find a way to survive against the incredible destructive power of the government they once fought for, until their people are once again free.
