The Garadain Empire has exhausted the primary resources of their native planet, so they send different space expeditions to find a new world where to live. Earth became one of their targets until a Garadain scientist named Zeku Alba, decides to rebel against the imperial rule and flees towards the Earth, where he gathers a group of youths gifted with the power of "Psycho Genesis", an ability that consists in creating solid matter from mental energy.
The most gifted of the squadron is Isamu Napoto, a young orphan whose family was killed in the first attack of the Garadain Empire. He is able to generate the powerful robot Govarian, an armor with which he can battle the alien monsters and is able to regenerate thanks to the pilot's psychic.

Trivia[]
- In South Korea, it was presented as being part of the Mazinger series along with Groizer X, kinda like with Robotech making Macross, Southern Cross, Mospedea and Megazone 23 as one series, or Power rangers mixing Zyuranger, Dairanger and Kakuranger as 1 show. Otr Voltron mixing Golion and Dairugger and then doing that weird crossover movie that I hear was kinda cool.
