Facing the overwhelming Earth forces, Omni government converted the pioneering Power Loader (PLD) units into walking combat machines. In 2540, the third team of 177th squadron, an all-female combat group named DoLLS (Detachment of Limited Line Service) has seen deployment.
In the game, player takes control of that combat group over nine missions.
