In the far future, mankind has expanded across the stars, colonizing numerous worlds. While many planets enjoy peace, Jerra has suffered through endless warfare for decades. Geist, classified as an M.D.S. (Most Dangerous Soldier), is a genetically engineered human with unrivaled combat ability and an insatiable craving for battle. Because of his uncontrollable demeanor, he is cryogenically frozen and sealed inside a satellite. Years later, the satellite crashes, and Geist awakens from his slumber to rejoin the conflict. This time, he aids an army in stopping the planet's central computer from activating a doomsday device that would annihilate all life on Jerra. A Director's Cut version was released on March 1, 1996, featuring a new opening and closing that lead into the sequel.
