N.I.C.E.F.: Neural-Interface Controlled Exo-Frame

This young adult, coming-of-age space opera adventure was heavily inspired by mecha and battle academy anime, with a diverse and queer-inclusive cast.

By all reports, the Wraiths were wiped out. The genocide of this alien race allowed humanity to cement control of the galaxy. The giant robots used to defeat the Wraiths became an economic corner-stone, and the largest training academy for their pilots serves as a test-bed for the latest models and corporate propaganda.

With so much economic influence tied to the school, the last surviving Wraith infiltrates on an assassination mission, and uses the underdog team of persecuted young students to start a meteoric rise to power... perfectly positioning her to slaughter the ones who wiped her people out of the galaxy.

Taegen Atius has really only made one miscalculation: Just how courageous these persecuted teenagers really are. With the corrupt government and greedy corporations fighting and hunting them at every turn, working together may be their only option.
