Plot (spoilers!!!)

The Kimassu Lady is a warrior on a water-world run by the female of the species; Earth-men are trying to take over with their militaristic, capitalistic ways. Amid much confusion, the Kimassu Lady ultimately decides to start her own rebel force for the good of her world. The earth-men have decided ideas about the inferiority of their females, and it's not exactly clear if this is supposed to be just their opinions, or a fact about the human species. In any case, on Delyafam the women are fully capable intelligent warriors, of a rather socialist bent.
