I got promoted to official pilot today.
What? That's great.
It's nothing to congratulate!
What's wrong?
Our time is counting down to zero, faster and faster.
Even with everything that you do, Nagate, pilot survival rates are still low.
Especially on first deployments.
Nagate, I bet you went to see that Ena again!
Oh, actually no. The Captain wanted to see me.
Whatever!
Hey!
Wait, hold on!
Don't follow me!
Our time isn't up, okay? Not yet!

Collision
Target is currently 1.2 million kilometers directly ahead!
It's quickly closing in on our position.
It's a Gauna pod.
How many cores are there?
We're estimating approximately 200 cores.
It's 20 times the length and over 8,000 times the size of Sidonia.
It's massive.
8,000 times?
I've never seen anything like it.
That's the Gauna?
The reports from observation are in.
Sidonia
It engulfed an asteroid inside its Ena.
It's going to collide with us!
Gauna 542 is on collision course with Sidonia!
It can't be!
It would obliterate us.
Display acceleration level.
Here is our current relative acceleration and our range of trajectories.
Permission to perform emergency diagonal acceleration at thrust level two.
Granted.
Attention citizens.
This is a gravity warning.
Remain indoors and prepare for emergency acceleration.
You are advised to identify the locations of the nearest safety rails
and be prepared to use your gravity belt without advance notice.
Once again...
Attention, citizens.
This is a gravity warning.
Remain indoors and prepare for emergency acceleration.
This is the ERD.
Oh, Chief.
Gauna 542 is closing in.
How is Ena Hoshijiro doing?
It's still looking towards the Kabizashi storage area.
Gauna 541 just attacked the colony ship, and now they're attacking Sidonia again.
Live
It's true that the Gauna are drawn to the Kabizashi.
However...
Getting rid of the Kabizashi won't eliminate the danger of a Gauna attack.
It's too soon to draw conclusions.
Keep an eye on our subject during the battle.
Right, understood.
Ready thruster one. Ignition.
Thruster 1 Ignition
Master Norio, I think we should find shelter just in case.
It won't matter where we go if we get hit by an asteroid.
Deployment Order
Ready thruster two. Ignition.
Turning from Gauna 542's collision course trajectory.
Stop acceleration. Cut the thrusters now.
Thrusters offline.
Switching to cruise control.
There are no reports of casualties from the residential district.
Warning
Gauna 542 is changing course!
It's returned to a collision course with Sidonia!
Warning
Can't be. How can it be so agile?
The posterior Gauna pods have created a propulsion system!
Even if we diagonally accelerate at maximum capacity,
it's impossible to escape Gauna 542's trajectory!
How long until impact?
Gauna 542 impact in:
Six hours!
Destroy it along with the asteroid.
We're going to use an Inter-Planetary missile!
Prepare to launch!
But according to past combat logs, whenever an IPM is used against the Gauna,
it's either been evaded right before impact or neutralized with an intercepting attack.
We won't make it if we don't fire.
The Gardes will immobilize it before the impact!
Captain, permission to use the prototype weapon.
Granted.
Equip all dispatching Gardes with them.
Orders are to bring out the ballistic drivers and core-penetration rounds!
What? All of them?
That's right, all 48!
In this short amount of time?
You know we can't make all those adjustments.
We'll have to make do.
Go on and send them out as soon as you have the recoil control system and rear thrusters removed.
All Garde units, once you have been equipped with the new prototype weapon,
prepare for sequential launch!
Wow, I didn't know we had so many of those prototype weapons finished.
Target: asteroid approaching Sidonia.
Aligning trajectory.
Arrival distance, 1.05 million kilometers.
Target Locked
Correcting for missile angle. Preparation complete!
Fire!
IPM ready! Fire!
This is squad one leader Samari.
Prepare for clutch formation!
This is squad two leader. Copy that!
Roger!
Clutch formation!
Two hours until IPM makes impact!
This is Samari.
Garde clutch formation: condition good. No issues with current trajectory.
Central Command to Garde squads.
This is your mission objective.
Interplanetary Missile impact in:
The Garde squads must destroy Gauna 542 before the IPM impacts the asteroid.
Affirmative!
There was a man that saved Sidonia from danger time after time.
Now, once again, Sidonia is facing grave danger.
The Gauna that could strike in an instant, and the Gauna cluster, their giant nest.
We need another hero to save us.
So I am now asking for your help.
But...
The thing is, I really love Sidonia.
All the great food and all the people that are here living happily together.
I don't know about trying to become just like that hero from the past,
but I will do everything I can to protect Sidonia. And its people.
Because I'm...
...a Knight of Sidonia!
If it weren't for the Gauna...
There's an IPM coming straight for where we are.
And we're fighting on an asteroid with gravity.
Fighting with gravity carrying these around.
That's going to drop our survival rate.
They have updated the recoil control system from before.
We finally have a way to attack the Gauna from range without having to remove their Ena first.
But we haven't trained with it yet.
Everyone, concentrate on the mission.
Get ready to decelerate.
Rotate your units and prepare your reverse thrusters!
Tsugumori.
It should have been me. I should've piloted it.
The Garde squads are 2,000 kilometers from the target.
We've matched the target's relative velocity.
Stop deceleration!
It's so big.
What the hell is this? How are we supposed to fight this?
We don't have a choice.
100 Sights of Sidonia: Residential Tower Topmost Section
100 Sights of Sidonia: An alley near Kuntao Development
It's so big.

Garde Clutch Formation
Release clutch formation!
Squad 1
Squad 2
All units, enter orbital trajectory!
Roger!
Closing in on target!
We're getting a report from the Garde squads!
Squad one will target the Gauna from the front.
You will act as a decoy.
Squad two, head straight for the propulsion core.
Squad two leader, copy.
Squad one leader, copy!
Squad one, prepare to fire.
Fire!
Squad 1
Gauna 542
Squad one has fired core-penetrating rounds at the target.
Hit confirmed.
Everyone, watch your aim!
Squad 2
This is squad two, we've almost arrived at the propulsion core.
That's their core!
Squad, fire your weapons and destroy it!
Fire!
Squad two has begun firing.
Gauna propulsion system has been hit!
Squad one, the frontal Ena is changing!
Unit 278 is going down!
Incoming Heigus cannon fire!
All units, don't break formation!
I'm taking fire! I can't see anything! I need help!
Unit 639 down!
Don't fire! Concentrate on dodging the shots!
They're sitting ducks out there.
Squad one, drop down to the surface and dodge the Heigus cannon fire.
You actually wanna drop altitude in this gravity?
It will be less intense near the surface!
Squad one, follow me!
I'm getting pulled down!
Squad one, purge gun-barrel extensions.
561, you still have your gun-barrel extension attached!
Detach it now!
It's too heavy!
I can't stabilize!
Look out!
Units 561 and 342 lost!
What about squad two?
Assessing damage to Gauna propulsion core.
Twenty... Thirty...
It's over 35%.
Live
Good, we got another one.
Now. Over 70% destroyed!
I think we have enough core-penetration rounds left!
And we can still use the Heigus particle cannons.
Over 90% destroyed!
Squad Two! Status update!
We're almost there!
Signal Lost
We've lost the signal to squad leader two!
Units 019, 127 and 164 lost!
Squad leader is down! Units 019, 127 and 164 lost!
One core has separated from within the Gauna pod!
Heigus particles detected!
Evasive maneuvers!
702...
The Crimson Hawkmoth!
Units 616, 592, 483 lost!
Units 082 and 123 lost!
I can't evade it! It's on my tail.
Get out!
Crimson Hawkmoth.
Can't be...
Another eight units lost!
We've lost over 20 units!
Fall back! Get out of there!
Units 253, 261 and 325 lost!
We've just lost the signals.
We've lost all communication with squad two units!
They're all gone?
This is squad one! We're running low on core-penetration rounds!
We can't destroy the core on our own!
Squad one is down to 14 units!
One hour remaining until IPM impact!
Interplanetary Missile impact in:
Continue the mission.
What now?
What can we do with what we have left?
Big Brother, I need your help.
IPM making final trajectory adjustments.
Adjust 0.35 degrees.
An hour left.
As long as the Crimson Hawkmoth is there, there's no hope to destroy each Gauna.
Gauna 542 Analysis
So we have to destroy the host core instead.
There are many empty chambers within Gauna 542.
So...
Prepare the Heigus particle cannon!
What?
Captain, if we focus all of Sidonia's Heigus particles and fire them at the target,
there's a chance we can rip a hole in its Ena!
Prepare Heigus cannon for barrage on Gauna 542 anterior...
But if we do that, we won't be able to make any course changes if we fail! Prepare Heigus cannon for barrage on Gauna 542 anterior...
Besides, if we shut down the core system and gravity generator, the residential district will... Prepare Heigus cannon for barrage on Gauna 542 anterior...
Besides, if we shut down the core system and gravity generator, the residential district will...
It won't matter if we lose Sidonia.
Do it.
Affirmative!
Squad one!
Sidonia will soon fire a high-energy Heigus cannon shot at Gauna 542 to blast a hole in its Ena.
Enter the hole, find the host core, and destroy it!
What?
Inside it?
Gauna 542
Squad 1
Asteroid
Propulsion
Host Core
We're seriously going inside this thing?
We have no choice!
Command, this is squad one leader, Samari.
We copy. We will destroy the host core!
Brace for the shockwave!
Affirmative!
Prepare the Heigus particle cannon!
Begin supercharge cycle!
Use emergency protocol to close the mainline Heigus circuits
and divert them to the central distributor!
Map of Sidonia
This is an emergency announcement.
The residential district will experience blackouts
and we will perform an emergency shutdown of the gravity generator.
Please secure your gravity belts for your own safety.
Once again, this is an emergency announcement.
The residential district will experience blackouts
and we will perform an emergency shutdown of the gravity generator.
Please secure your gravity belts for your own safety.
This is an emergency announcement.
The residential district will experience blackouts
and we will perform an emergency shutdown of the gravity generator.
Please secure your gravity belts for your own safety.
Tanikaze.
This dream will end if Sidonia is gone.
Who needs a world like this anyway?
Master Norio!
Using all of our Heigus particles?
That is foolish.
It was our failure to leave this to Kobayashi.
Prepare our escape pods in case it's necessary.
Squad one is retreating!
The high-energy Heigus cannon accelerator has completed charging!
Prepare Heigus cannon. Open cannon gate!
Target locked, projected trajectory alignment is good!
Target Locked
Releasing final safety system!
Fire.
Firing Heigus cannon.
Ten seconds until impact!
