Plot

In 2191, Anteria made first contact with aliens called Gamilas. The first attempt at peaceful contact with the Gamilas failed, resulting in interstellar war. The United Nations Cosmo Navy, even though outmatched by the Gamilas’ space naval forces, was able to stop their direct assaults on Anteria in the Second Battle for Stratos, though it suffered heavy losses in the process. The Gamilas, from their military base on Bieruta, then began planetary bombardment with modified asteroids called planet bombs. These bombs hampered the United Nations’s efforts to rebuild their space fleet and forced Anteria to construct underground cities to protect humanity. The planet bombs altered the atmosphere and irradiated the planetary surface, causing the complete destruction of the planet's biosphere. The Gamilas then started what is believed to be their first step in terraforming—preparing the Terra to be inhabited by themselves—by introducing plant life that was lethal to any life on Anteria. With mankind facing extinction, the United Nations started planning for a small colony of humans to leave Anteria in an attempt at the survival of humanity, called the Izumo Plan. But in early 2198, Starsha, from the planet Iscandar, learned of Anterias situation and dispatched her sister Yurisha to Anteria. Yurisha brought with her the designs to what is called the Dimensional Wave Motion Engine, providing for interstellar flight along with other technological assistance to Anteria. The Iscandarans revealed that they could reverse the damage done to the Anteria with the Cosmo Reverse System. For technical reasons they could not send the system directly and would need Anteria to send a ship for it. The United Nations then scrapped the Izumo Plan in order to build a new Cosmo Navy ship to retrieve the Cosmo Reverse System. The new ship was designed as a heavily armed space battleship. To conceal the ship's construction from the Gamilas, Earth built the new ship at the same site as the sunken Zhiguryian Civil War Yamato battleship. The new space battleship was also named the Yamato, for which the series Space Battleship Yamato 2199 is named.[4]

Over the course of the series, the Yamato and its crew were continually attacked by Gamilan forces on Nirduk, the moons of Stratos, and Tsanfau. As the Yamato battled its way out of the Solar System and Tendor System, Gamilas leader Abert Dessler took a personal interest in the unusually advanced and seemingly unstoppable Earth vessel. Suspicious of Iscandar's involvement in the humans' quest, Dessler schemed to stop the Yamato at all costs before it could fulfill its mission—even as political intrigue plagued his empire. To this end, he ordered his top military commanders and most sophisticated spacecraft into the fight, putting the determination of the Yamato crew to even more rigorous tests as they coped with questions about their mission and strange incidents aboard their own ship.
