Plot
At the end of Arcadia of My Youth, Captain Harlock and the crew of the space ship Arcadia had been banished from Earth. The Earth, as well as many other planets in the universe had been taken over by the Illumidas, a race of destructive humanoids who ruin, enslave or destroy almost any inhabitable planet they come across. In "Endless Orbit SSX" Harlock battles the Illumidas while searching for a mythical "Planet of Peace" where all the peoples of the universe can live freely and without war.
It was not the intention that Endless Orbit SSX act as a prequel to Galaxy Express 999 and the 1978 Space Pirate Captain Harlock as both Galaxy Express and SSX contradict each other as well as the back story given in the 1978 Space Pirate series. The 1989-1993 American comic book adaptations by Eternity Comics did, however attempt to establish a continuity. The comic book series was not an actual adaptaion of SSX but liberally borrowed elements from the series while introducing new ones in an attempt to establish a continuity with Galaxy Express and Space Pirate series'.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“The plot! The plot! What kind of plot could a poet possibly provide that is not surpassed by the thinking, feeling reader? Form alone is divine.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
“There saw I how the secret felon wrought,
And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
—Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)
