In short, your planet was conquered by a big space empire and you are captaining one of the last vessels of its fleet to go fight the big space empire.

One of the last vessels, and also supposedly the first assault carrier in the universe.

Pretty sure it's still being debated on whether or not PACT had assault carriers before the Sunrider was wrecking havoc on their fleets.

Although, the Lincoln also has that WMG akin to the Vangaurd Cannon. And while Yuu is similar to Sola, her MAS is more like the Paladin's. Heavy armor, just about all kinetics, and lack of melee :D

Although Icari and Kryska(Phoenix and Paladin pilots respectively) act like a married couple~! It's so cute~!
