Sooo...

Tasking a bunch of misfit soldiers from different countries somehow results in a Elite Unit that can do the impossible?

@gbatemper123 Given the history of the BETA war as described in the games that take place in the decades following this story, it is doubtful the Black Marks will have survived long. By the time of Unlimited and Alternative, the Soviet Union and most of Europe are overrun by the BETAs and operating out of Alaska.

@AcroRay Hmm, do you have any info on this? Is this a game? Or is it a short side story, or a big spin off like Total Eclipse? I have played pretty much all of the Muv-luv stuff.

[AcroRay]

@gbatemper123 It's a multimedia side story running as art/text in Tech Gian and modeling dioramas and text in Hobby Japan. Light novels are also being published. Like Total Eclipse, but not nearly as big - at least at the moment. The Balalaika TSF featured in the story has been released as a Volks A3 figure, and should be out in the Revoltech Muv Luv line in December. The website covers most of the multimedia content that's available.

@AcroRay I know I'd love to see an anime of this series; Carnelian really needs more mainstream anime exposure that matches her art as closely as possible. But they've decided to make one with Total Eclipse first, sadly, though Sou Miyata is no artistic slouch.

@AcroRay Hm, nice. I'll probably buy it with all the craploads of other Muv-luv goods over the summer.

Just Imagine if STAR WARS was like this >:)

@AcroRay Thank you, I was wondering what her name was. In any case, keep us updated on how this new series is going to be released.

[AcroRay]

@Mazryonh "Pham Thi Lan"  She's Vietnamese, and part of Unit 666. [Special thanks to MicroBry for the name translation!]

@blackversegun Get yourself a copy of the whole symphony. It's a must-have! You won't regret it. :-)
