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:
“After I discovered the real life of mothers bore little resemblance to the plot outlined in most of the books and articles I’d read, I started relying on the expert advice of other mothers—especially those with sons a few years older than mine. This great body of knowledge is essentially an oral history, because anyone engaged in motherhood on a daily basis has no time to write an advice book about it.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“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)
“If you need a certain vitality you can only supply it yourself, or there comes a point, anyway, when no one’s actions but your own seem dramatically convincing and justifiable in the plot that the number of your days concocts.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
