--WITNESS THE BIRTH OF LIFE...

[In the ever expanding universe floats a mysterious sphere--Amnelia, the Green Mother Planet]

The life born on this planet experienced civilization and war and the repeated danger of destruction. Out of this confusion came a boy who brought an end to the chaos. His name was Amnelia. The people bestowed his name on their planet and no one ever came forth to challenge his strength and spirit as their savior.

--TIME GOES ON...

In Amnelia's bloodline dwelled a mysterious power, revealing itself generation after generation. The King of Blazar in the 21st century was no exception.

The King was a serious scientist, absorbed in research for a new energy source. Amnelia had used the energy generated in the land known as Caju. Although Caju gave life to Amnelia, it did not have unlimited resources. A serious energy shortage was developing.

In the Amnelian year 547, the King of Blazar discovered the means for generating desperately needed energy. The problem of Amnelia's energy needs was completely solved. As people's lives began to improve, the wise King announced that he would develop the energy for everyone in the universe. Once he made the announcement, Amnelia became the mother planet. We entered into an era of great prosperity.

Because of that day, I promised to bring everyone to the new land. People emigrated to Blazar, the first of two moons that orbit Amnelia, and 50 years passed. This was the most peaceful era in history.

However, the mistake made 600 years ago is repeating itself today...

--GENOCIDE [The Black Magic Power [A.N.] and the Enigmatic Invaders]

When Masa, the other moon that orbits Amnelia, was targeted for possession by Blazar, tensions between the Masa natives and the new immigrants burst their limits. War broke out. As the violence grew, Masa scientists who had been researching weapons of mass destruction succeeded in developing a weapon with black magic. The called it the "All Nothing"--a weapon that could literally destroy everything. One flash from this weapon and Blazar would be wiped from the universe.

People on both sides threw down their arms when they realized this new threat, and war ceased. This began a period of peace and prosperity. At the same time, in the Amnelian year 609, a new life was born in whose body flowed Amnelia's blood. This child, the last Amnelia since the great war, became the 25th king.

Many people were in an uproar over the birth of the new king. The baby's ability to see into the future (a power referred to as "The Light") revealed that they would be dragged into the cruel fate of Amnelia. "Prepare yourselves! They are coming!" were the first words the child-king spoke.

Three years later "they" came. Although the King's Universal Royal Army set up an ambush on Masa, several hours after the first shot Masa was completely devastated. At the same time, two-thirds of the population perished. The King's clairvoyance revealed what power it was that the enemy had brought into battle: the people were attacked by an unknown invader called Thiima, meaning "Deliverer of Death".

--BIRTH OF THE SILVER HAWK

[We can no longer go on.]

The Amnelian civilization cannot fight against Thiima.

The King's final order was to create a fighting craft that combined the power of Thiima and the black magic power of the A.N. to destroy planets. The scientists pondered the King's directives. Then they loaded an All Nothing machine onto enemy vessels captured in the battle of Masa, and built two state-of-the-art fighter crafts. The ships were called Silver Hawks after the legendary bird that ushered in the reign of Amnelia I.

The main body of the enemy's army will soon arrive. The remaining pilots of the Royal Universal Army, Sameluck Raida and Lutia Feen, have readied themselves to pilot the Silver Hawks. The King of Amnelia congratulates the two young pilots who will fly the small Silver Hawks, and wishes them good luck.

Can he foresee their destiny...?

--SAMELUCK RAIDA (P1)

Specially trained pilot for the Silver Hawk 1. Sameluck was the test pilot for the ARCF-06A, the original Silver Hawk when it was under development. When its original pilot was killed in a battle against Thiima, Sameluck Raida became its pilot.

Sameluck has a balanced temperament. He is not so competitive that he holds others back from taking part and succeeding, but when things get tough, he never backs away.

He meets Lutia when he becomes the pilot of the Silver Hawk 1.

--LUTIA FEEN (P2)

Lutia is the special pilot for the Silver Hawk 2. When she heard the King of Amnelia announce that Thiima was returning, she decided to become a prodigy pilot. She was only 11 at the time, but by practicing numerous missions in dogfights using the flight simulator, she became an ace pilot.

Lutia lost her entire family in the battle against Thiima. Now she shows almost no feelings or emotions of any kind in front of others. But after meeting Sameluck, who has had experiences like hers, she has begun to smile again.
(Err, what's the age of consent in Amnelia?)

Lutia denies that her natural skills as a pilot stem from her rumored kinship to Amnelia. Even Lutia herself is not sure if she has family ties to the King and his famous ancestors.

[[Transcriber's note: from this, I guess that the initial Thiima attack occurred many years before G Darius's events. Seven years, say? And a victory for Amnelia, too, albeit pyrrhic...]]

--SILVER HAWK

Military Designation: ARCF-ROTA PLUS
Alias: Silver Hawk
Occupant: 1
Height: 14.815 m
Length: 26.55 m
Width: 20.713 m

This state of the art fighter was developed to counter the enemy's powerful Thiima and the All Nothing (A.N.) system. [[But, this was developed AFTER the Masa war. We need to talk with THQ's translators...]]

The A.N. system is hyper-technology, with the power to eradicate the universe step by step. The Silver Hawk can override the enemy's engine's life core. By combining with it, the Silver Hawk can control the A.N. system. In this capturing system, the A.N. has the ability to replenish its energy from enemy craft by converting an enemy vessel's energy into an attached Alpha Beam.

--THIIMA

This unidentified mechanical life attacked Amnelia without warning. With the appearance of the A.N. and its ability to annihilate the universe, a period of survival awareness has begun. Thiima's purpose is to protect the peace in the universe. Its body is covered with hard metal-like material. It has flexible movement and speed, and a destructive power that makes it a super machine, and nearly impossible to destroy.
