機動戦艦ナデシコ The prince of darkness
Two years after the events of the series, Akito and Yurika have vanished without a trace. The former enemies, Earthlings and Jovians, now form a united force, with the young Ruri commanding the new battleship Nadesico B. The widespread adoption of Boson Jumping technology has led to the creation of the Hisago Plan, a vast network of Chulip portals that holds the key to the immense power of Bose particles.
This fragile peace is shattered when a militant Martian splinter group launches a devastating offensive, overwhelming the United Forces. In desperation, the scattered and retired crew of the original Nadesico is forcibly recalled for a rogue, unsanctioned mission. They must race against time to secure the secrets of the Boson technology before it falls into the wrong hands, all while the mystery of their missing friends looms over them.
