\[Exiled-Destiny\] Starship Operators - Dual Audio Video: h.264 Audio: AC3 **Summary 1**: For the 73rd class of cadets of the Defense University of the small planet Kibi, a shakedown cruise on the fleet's new starship "Amaterasu" is a fitting lead-up to graduation. As they are returning to their home planet, however, they are shocked to hear news of a declaration of war by the aggressive Kingdom against Kibi. When their planetary government surrenders without a struggle, the cadets decide to launch their own war, aboard the "Amaterasu". To gain funding, they make a deal with a galactic news network - and find themselves the "stars" of their own "reality show". Unfortunately, this is the kind of reality show that can get you killed... _Source:_ [Anime News Network](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=4811) **Summary 2**: The story is set in AD 2300, thousands of light-years from earth in the vicinity of the Henrietta system, where there are entire warring planets. A planet gets taken over by a military coup d'etat, and a group of trainees on board a newly commissioned starship (the Amaterasu) returning from a training mission, get stranded outside their homeworld, and resolve to liberate it. Unfortunately they don't quite have the money to pay for operation and provision expenses, so in return for funds from the alliance 'Galactic Network', they sell the TV rights for their battles to be aired on an exclusive TV channel (the Starship Channel or S.S.C), which is broadcasted across the entire system. They end up periodically resorting to unusual measures to boost their channel ratings -- sort of like Sakura Taisen in space. _Source:_ [AniDB](http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2745)
