The year 2017 sees Europe under attack by the Holy Britannian Empire's forces. To combat this overwhelming pressure and reduce casualties, an army unit called Wyvern or W-0 is formed. Composed of former Japanese citizens known as "Elevens," these young men and women pilot Knightmare frames into dangerous missions in hopes of making a name for themselves. When a European regiment is pinned down by the enemy during a mission to recapture a crucial city, it falls to W-0 to save them. Lieutenant Akito Hyuuga, also known as "Hannibals Ghost," leads the rescue operation. However, when the commanding officer orders the Knightmare's self-destruct sequence in an attempt to take out as many Britannians as possible, the mission becomes suicidal. In the aftermath, Akito is left alone as the last survivor.
