AniList describes the synopsis as follows,
“Centuries ago, mankind abandoned planet Earth after the Vice, a race of mechanical aliens, drove them from their home into a life adrift in space. Now resigned to starships forged of pieces of Earth’s shattered moon, the final hope for humanity lies in the hands of Actresses, young women born with the ability to wield the only weapons that can harm the Vice: Alice Gears, mechanical suits that can finally turn the tide against the alien incursion.”
The developers also produced the 2022 video game ‘Alice Gear Aegis CS: Concerto of Simulatrix’ for Nintendo and Sony PlayStation.
