Story[]
New Space-Time Century Year XXX. Around the time when the activity of "Caesar" who repelled the invasion of the Brain Army was becoming a legend.
A startling report was sent to the Geoscience Union from the space resource search shuttle. "Be wary, the Brain Army is not dead!" It is said that the Brain Army, which was once thought to have been destroyed by "Caesar", is building a space station that will serve as a front base in the asteroid space.
In a hurry, the Geoscience Union sent an unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, but the whereabouts became unknown. The last communication showed the appearance of the planet that seems to be the main star of the Brain Army. The Geoscience Union, which saw the situation seriously, held a security council and adopted a thorough fight against the Brain Army. Following history, the blitzkrieg operation was chosen by heavy attack aircraft, which are more mobile than the fleet squadron.
Equipped with a new "Blaster" weapon that offsets the attack of enemy aircraft, the successor "Assault Caesar", with performance far exceeding the legendary fighter "Caesar", launched toward the space front base of the Brain Army. The aim is the main star of the Brain Army, and the final target of the attack is the center of the Brain Army "Nest Point!"
