Uchuu no Stellvia

In 2167, a supernova explosion engulfed the Earth with a wave of electromagnetic energy, turning the sky green and causing countless disasters.

After recovering from that first wave, humanity started putting up defences to protect itself, and by the year 2356, a network of six orbiting space stations, the Foundations, now guards the Earth from a second supernova wave that is expected to arrive later that year.

Each Foundation houses a high school for promising young space cadets, and eager 15-year-old Katase Shima has just been accepted to Stellvia, the second Foundation.

Making friends, going to class, learning to pilot a light spacecraft — it is all part of the high school experience, hundreds of miles above Earth aboard space station Stellvia.
