Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet (翠星のガルガンティア)

The long age of drifting ended,

and humanity obtained a home in the wide reaches of the galaxy.

We named it Avalon: The beautiful paradise.

Behold a shining utopia,

born from our pioneering spirit and scientific expertise.

This is your homeland.

All 470,000,000 citizens of Avalon

hail your bravery and dedication,

and will know your names as honored soldiers.

All hail the Galactic Alliance of Humankind, and its eternal future.

Humanity's endless challenge begins here.

But you must never forget that

a merciless evil lurks in the depths of this cruel universe.

We must end the threat of the Hideauze,

who try hinder our journey onward!

We must not allow these lower life forms

to hold back humanity's race to the future!

Stand tall heroes, for we face our greatest trial.

Forget not the countless lives lost,

nor our future comrades, still in grave danger.

No change in adrenaline output levels.

Your response fails to meet expected parameters.

Avalon, huh?

I did want to see it for myself one day...

But now that I have the chance, I'm not so sure.

What is a "homeland" anyway?

A place where the rights of citizens are guaranteed.

Ensign, you will be granted

the right to sleep, eat, drink, and reproduce freely.

Somehow I think those things are all a little beyond me.

Ensign, you have proven to be a superior example of humanity,

fit to survive and reproduce.

This is an honor, and an accomplishment to be celebrated.

Are you happy, Chamber?
