Story
The setting is around the year 2035 in Kokubu, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan.
Japan was seeing a rapid rise in illegal drone activity and associated damage. However, because the scale of the problem fell into a "gray area"—too large for local police to handle but not significant enough to warrant a full-scale response from the Air Self-Defense Force—the issue was effectively left unchecked.
Authorities took notice of the research conducted by Senken Co., Ltd., a private firm in Kagoshima, and decided to launch a pilot program for private-sector anti-drone operations in the region. Senken Co., Ltd. had originally been researching manned electric aircraft.
As a private enterprise, the company faces limitations regarding authority and weaponry, making anti-drone operations a challenging task. Three qualified pilots deploy to carry out these "Anti-Q" missions.
