Neo Ninja Town is a large city divided into districts controlled by various private organisations. The focus on advanced technology has led to unforeseen consequences, such as abandoned buildings and mutated life in the sewers, some of them occasionally going to the surface to attack. When five claymores suddenly appear in different parts of Neo Ninja Town, only a few people are able to pull them out of the ground. Those five are chosen by a mysterious group to become part of the Secret Shinobi Chivalry project, a group of "Knight-Ninjas" whose goal is to clean up the streets of Neo Ninja Town. However, the power contained inside these swords have grabbed the attention of the Grandmaster, a mysterious figure who not only leads the city's underworld, but controls many influential organisations in the city like the Tamaki Walnut Company. Will the Knight-Ninjas' power fall into the wrong hands?

A star-faring religious cult has created an army of robotic zealots designed to follow holy scripture. As the robotic menace spreads across the galaxy, it takes prisoners to be 'excommunicated': hooked into a neural simulation of eternal torment. Captain Rolland Barron leads the Sol Federation Starship Excalibur on a diplomatic mission. Cassia LaCroix is a wormhole hunter, earning a living scouring the galaxy for valuable tunnels through space-time. Prince Zoojin, a psychic alien from a distant galaxy, must prove himself worthy of the throne of Paxis Prime. The paths of these characters converge as they pursue their own motives, leading them towards the mechanical legion that is sweeping across the galaxy.
