It takes place in the distant future, in the year 5012, after the aerial invasion of Earth by Aliens and their creations, called Machine Lifeforms. Humanity was on the brink of extinction, taking refuge on the moon to survive where they could plan a counterattack. Humans used mindless androids to fight against the Machine Lifeforms, but the latter would multiply indefinitely, leaving the war at a stalemate.
