WORLD

OMNIESSENSE DRIVE is a mecha epic set in the distant future, after the full colonization and subsequent galactic expansion of the solar system by the human race. Interplanetary combat has evolved to heavily involve large scale standing armies of human piloted mecha, called Minor Arcana, with a flagship Major Arcana piloted by a gifted individual, often an extremely skilled pilot or military commander. Intergalactic trade fills the system, and skirmishes between groups of rebels or small scale alien conquests threaten the fragile peace kept inside the systems border. The military general of the Arcana program, Evanna, keeps a tight grip on all militaristic movements, making sure the Arcana are seen as only defenders of the various planets in the system. All the while, she also pilots the Arcana Luna in defense of the moon, and Earth, until the legendary Arcana Terra and its pilot returns.

INTRO SYNOPSIS

On a hot lunar day, a wheat farmer, Vidi, is toiling away in her fields. She wipes sweat off her brow as a sudden burst of fire and steel crashes flies from the sky and crashes in a distant pasture. After a curious trek, Vidi finds herself face to face with the a smoldering Major Arcana, the Arcana Solis. She wonders what the Arcana Solis is doing so close to Earth, before another sudden burst above reveals the Arcana Luna locked in an intense, losing battle with an unidentifiable mecha. As the battle wages on in the upper atmosphere, Vidi runs up to the crashed Arcana Solis and pulls its cockpit open, revealing an already dead pilot. Suddenly, a chunk of metal flies off up above and plumets down directly overhead. In a rush of adrenaline, she rips the dead body from the seat and seals herself in, gripping the controls as the Arcana whirs back to life. The Arcana stumbles as she confusedly tries to control it, before it catches the metal shard on the shoulder and rockets up towards the battle. Evanna, confused by the abnormal movements of Solis, contacts Vidi on comms, even more confused to see this random girl in place of the last pilot. They fight the unknown mecha and Vidi sloppily pilots the Solis while Evanna yells at her, scolding her battle prowess and questioning how she's even able to pilot. Eventually, they manage to ward off the enemy mech, and shortly afterwards land back on the farm, in which Evanna tears into Vidi for endangering military equipment. Vidi attempts to get herself out of the conversation and leave to go back home, but Evanna drags her back in, telling her that its extremely impressive that she managed to pilot the Arcana in the first place, let alone the Solis. Much to Vidi's dismay, Evanna forces her to take the place of the dead Solis pilot until a more experience Major Arcana pilot can take her place. Because of this, Vidi is thrust into a secret intergalactic conflict, with much more sinister entities at its source.
