Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this tactical RPG, players command military units across varied campaigns to achieve unique victory conditions while navigating a story shaped by their choices. The narrative is set in the Space Era, where humanity faces a probable extraterrestrial invasion after discovering unknown technology within a meteor. To confront this emerging threat, players utilize developed Personal Troopers, humanoid mobile units designed for defense and combat.
Story
Introduction
This tactical RPG allows the player to control military units in various campaigns, simulating battle. Each map features a unique victory condition, and progression to a new map occurs only after achieving victory on the current one.
The story evolves based on the player's selections, resulting in multiple endings. Players are invited to confront the emerging threats within the game.
Story
Nearly two centuries ago, humanity advanced into space, ushering in the Space Era. Progress had been limited in the years following the devastation and turmoil caused by meteors striking Earth in the early 21st century.
In 179 S.E., a third meteor, Meteor 3, struck near the Marquesas Islands in the South Pacific. An Earth Federal Government (EFG) research team discovered evidence of unknown technology within the meteor, which they named Extra-Over Technology (EOT).
The EOT Investigative Committee (EOTI) and the EOT Council conducted further analysis. Upon conclusion, Dr. Bian Zoldark, head of EOTI, reported to the EFG and the Earth Federation Army that an extraterrestrial invasion was highly probable.
Heeding this warning, the EFG initiated the development of Personal Troopers, which are humanoid mobile units.

Enemies & Characters
RYUSEI DATE
An 18-year-old Master Sergeant and test pilot for the SRX team, he is a passionate and reckless super robot enthusiast who met Ingram Priskin after winning a simulation tournament. Although his cheerfulness is contagious, he is one of the most reliable guys to have at your side in a pinch, often escaping difficult situations with devil's luck.
R-1
Officially the Real Personal Trooper Type-1, this mech is the first of the Personal Trooper-R Series developed for the SRX Project and is equipped with non-beam weapons for close combat. It features PT/EOT technology and can transform into the R-WING flying form.
RAIDIESE F BRANSTEIN
A 19-year-old Second Lieutenant and test pilot for the SRX team, he is a genius from a distinguished military family who lost his left hand during a prototype test. He is described as smart, sarcastic, and cool under pressure.
R-2
The Real Personal Trooper Type-2 is the second mech of the Personal Trooper-R Series, designed to bombard opponents with high-powered beam weapons and thick armor. It utilizes a Tronium Engine that limits its mobility, and its primary role is to support the R-1 and R-3.
AYA KOBAYASHI
The 21-year-old Captain and leader of the SRX team, she previously volunteered for brain research and worked on the Telekinesis-Link System for the R Series. Despite appearing responsible and strong-willed, she is gentle inside and hates conflict.
R-3
The Real Personal Trooper Type-3 is the third mech of the Personal Trooper-R Series, built exclusively for Aya Kobayashii and equipped with the T-Link System. Ideal for using telekinesis-type weapons for long-range combat and reconnaissance, it is meant for a commanding officer.
KYOSUKE NANBU
An 22-year-old Second Lieutenant and test pilot for the ATX team, he is a man of few words who retains a poker face but is deeply in love with Excellen Browning. He is a bad gambler and a former member of the Far East Brigade who also piloted the Wildraubtier.
PTX-003C: GESPENST Mk-II ALT_EISEN
Developed as part of the ATX Project, this Personal Trooper is a radical modification of the first generation Gespenst series designed for frontal attack with overwhelming firepower. Armed mostly with non-beam weapons, it lacks EOT technology and was given the code name 'Alt_eisen' or 'Old Iron' because its concept went against the trend.
EXCELLEN BROWNING
A 23-year-old Second Lieutenant and test pilot for the ATX team who pilots the Weissritter, she is calm and intelligent but enjoys being the center of attention. She loves Kyosuke dearly but is often frustrated by his behavior, though she is an excellent pilot skilled in dog-fighting.
PTX-007-03C: GESPENST Mk-II CUSTOM WEISSRITTER
This customized Personal Trooper is based on the Gespenst Mk-II and utilizes Lion series data and a miniature Tesla Drive to fly independently with high mobility. It is armed with an Oxtongue Rifle for unparalleled accuracy, but mass production was cancelled due to high costs and weak armor.
MASAKI ANDOH
The pilot of the Elemental Lord Cybuster, Masaki is a frank and exceptionally athletic 17-year-old chosen for his ability to utilize Prana through strong emotions. Summoned to the Holy Langran Kingdom to stop the Evil Lord, he is loyal but comically awkward, especially with women.
CYBUSTER
Known as the 'elemental Lord of the Wind,' this unit was developed in the Langran Kingdom and blessed by Cyfis, requiring the pilot's Prana and Ether as a magical catalyst. Its armor is made of Orichalconum, and it can transform into a cruising variant called Cybird.
