Synopsis

The discovery of a hypergate on the Moon once allowed humanity to teleport to Mars. Those who chose to settle there unearthed advanced technology, which they named "Aldnoah." This led to the founding of the Vers Empire of Mars and a declaration of war against the "Terrans," those who stayed on Earth. However, a battle on the moon—later called "Heaven's Fall"—caused the hypergate to explode, leading to an uneasy ceasefire. Their peace was fragile. Fifteen years later, high school student Inaho Kaizuka witnesses the assassination of the Vers Empire's Princess Asseylum Vers Allusia, who had come to Earth to repair relations. The ceasefire is shattered, and the Martians declare war on the Terrans again. Inaho and his friends must now fight against the Vers Empire to settle the war once and for all.
