It is set in the far future (year 3394) from now when the earth has already been destroyed a thousand year ago by gigantic aliens called Gauna. Sidonia is the name of a spaceship with around 500,000 humans in numbers. They are probably the last of the species. Monstrous shapeshifting aliens often attack the ship. A large pilot controlled Exo suits called Gardes protect the ship.
The children on the ship are trained to face any emergency and casualty. Also to grow the human population, the people of Sidonia have developed technologies like asexual reproduction, human genetic engineering, etc.
A boy named Nagate Tanikaze is the central character. He had been living with his grandpa in the spaceship since his childhood. He trained himself to become a true guardian using old training simulators. After his grandfather’s death, he was forced to come out and becomes one of the Guardians pilots to protect Sidonia from Gauna.
