Emeraldas, known throughout the galaxy as the Pirate Queen, travels through space on her heavily-armed ship, searching for a secret.

He crashes on Mars, where he encounters Emeraldas, who sees a little of herself in the reckless young man. Series Overview- Emeraldas is a woman searching for someone whose name only she knows. Hiroshi Umino is a boy longing to escape the bonds of Earth. Together, they travel the galaxy, striking down the wicked and arrogant and helping the innocent.
