2. Narrative
In a time where space is just another destination, the Resistance is a group of female humans that fight to protect
the inhabitants living in cosmos. Their foe formed from Black Holes, the Black Mass consumes planets, solar
systems and even galaxies. The priority of the Resistance is to ensure the well being and the longevity of all the
life forms inhabiting space from the Black Mass. Patrolling vast planet canyons and desolated environments, the
Black Mass wreaks havoc in various chemical and physical forms. The Resistance response to these techniques
is to use the vast artillery in their possession. They use battle suits to protect and enhance their physical strength.
Using a psychological connection, only the most centered and focused individual can control the suits. Powering
these weapons comes from within the human heart, heightening the energy response of the pulse. Generating
tremendous energy for multiple suits and their super weapon, the HAHA-NAI. She is a giant robot controlled by a
single pilot and is the advantaged over the multiple formations of the Black Mass. As generations move on, the
pilot of the HAHA-NAI will always be replaced, a cycle of influence to create new genesis.
From ground planet patrol to large scale annihilation, ending the
Black Mass Invasion is a service to the cosmos.
