Strain: Strategic Armored Infantry - S01

Eleven-year-old Sara Werec watched as her older brother, Ralph, was sent off to fight in a distant interstellar war, 130 light years from home. She swore she would one day stand beside him as an equal. Five years later, Sara is a student at Grapera Space Armed Soldier Academy, training to pilot a "Strain," an advanced combat system reserved for elite soldiers known as Reasoners. During a sudden enemy attack on the academy, Sara rushes into battle, only to be swiftly defeated by a hostile Strain. When its pilot disables her and removes his helmet, she is shocked to see Ralph-her own brother. He massacres the other students, destroys the school, and vanishes, leaving Sara shattered and questioning everything she believed. Now, under a new identity, she resumes her training with a single goal: to face Ralph again and uncover the truth behind his betrayal.
