History

Showa era

Battle in Outer Space

After the successful Moon mission, Earth began to prepare for a counterattack from the Natarls. As the enemy aliens approached the Earth, squadrons of FFE Space Fighters were deployed from bases in Tokyo, Texas, and Siberia to combat them. Although a handful of the Natarl UFOs was shot down, the Mother Ship was able to breach the line of defense.

The Mother Ship arrived in Tokyo and began to trash the city with a vacuum-esque beam, so the remaining FFE Fighters attempted to stop the attack. With help from the Atomic Heat Cannons, the FFE Fighters shot down the attacking UFOs and their Mother Ship.
