Armored Fleet Dairugger XV

- Season 1

(1982)

After a lengthy search, the Rugger team finds a planet similar enough to Earth that is suitable for colonization. Unfortunately, they soon encounter a massive alien force that has already occupied the planet.

Feeling shame for losing to Dairugger, Rackal is determined to take back the planet from the Rugger Guard. Teles objects, noting that their own forces are inferior to the them. Rackal sets off the planet anyway, taking his forces, and a secret weapon with him. On the planet, the Rugger Team continue their survey as they wait for the construction team to arrive to build a permanent base.

The Construction fleet has finally arrived on the planet, relieving the simmering tensions among the Rugger Guard. But immediately afterward, Teles commands Rackal to send an ultimatum to the Rugger Guard, demanding they withdraw from the planet. If they refuse, Rackal will launch a massive volley of photon missiles to destroy it. It is up to Dairugger and the Rugger Guard to try an stop the missiles, and save the planet they're fought so hard for.

Following the death of Rackal, Teles taps a man named Drake to deal with the threat the Rugger Guard poses. Drake's plan is to lure them into a dangerous area of space where several black holes converge. It is funnel shaped, gradually becoming narrower and denser towards the center. Meanwhile, Keats has an uneasy feeling of what lies ahead of the Rugger fleet, and sure enough, the space anomaly appears in front of them. They receive a distress signal emanating from it, and the Sea Team is sent to investigate, not knowing they are flying into a trap.

The Rugger Guard begins survey on a Venus-like planet that Drake has designated for experimentation. At first glance, the planet appears barren and hostile to human life, but the Walter Team actually discovers some vegetation on the surface, and the ruins of some old rockets.

The Rugger Guard is caught in a meteor shower, and sustains damage. While Rugger Team assists the repair crews, Galaxy Garrison HQ contacts Captain Ise to inform him that some badly-needed reinforcements will be sent to them. Drake uses this opportunity to launch a battle machine at the Rugger Guard, and to introduce himself to them. The ship manages to escape and land on a meteor planet, while Dairugger handles the threat.

Teles attempts to warn his superior officer about the threat that Earth poses to the Galveston Empire, but is angrily rebuffed for wasting his time. The Rugger Guard is en-route to a rendezvous with the support fleet led by Commander Kehl. Both sides are gearing up for an epic confrontation.

The Rugger Guard encounters a binary planet system, and a fleet of "ghost" ships orbit around on one of them. The Rugger Team deploys to investigate the fleet, which promptly flees. They then proceed to survey to the two planets; one is barren, the other is similar to Earth. The Rugger Guard performs a water-landing on the Earth-like planet, and are attacked from above by a Galveston fleet. Rugger Guard attempts to takeoff, but is forced to land again due to enemy fire. The ghost fleet returns, landing directly in front of Rugger Guard , and opens fire. They've been ...

Aki makes a personal request to the Captain some R&R for the overworked crew of the Rugger Guard. The Captain agrees, and the ship lands on a nearby planet, so the crew can go swimming for the lake as they wait for a Miran/Salan support fleet to rendezvous with them. Unfortunately, Galveston forces are again lying in wait nearby, waiting for the moment to strike.

Chakker becomes ill after exploring a cave on an alien planet. When Galveston attacks, the Rugger Team is at a disadvantage, without Chakker, they can't form Dairugger.

While the Rugger Team surveys a planet, a Galveston fighter crashes near their site. They take the injured pilot, Sim, back to the Rugger Guard with them. As Sim recuperates, Ise meets with him, hoping to gain a rapport with him and to open a dialogue with the Galveston. Little does the Guard Guard know that if they send Sim back to Galveston, he will he killed.
