In the process of Unification, each Vector is able to transform into a head section, (a chest with a head and arms) a back section, (a back with a set of wings) or a leg section. Main article: List of Genesis of Aquarion characters Mecha This machine and its forms are called Aquarion ( アクエリオン Akuerion ?).ĭuring the first sortie to fight a Cherubim by uniting the Vectors into a transformation of Aquarion, DEAVA encounters 15 year-old Apollo, who seems to be the reincarnation of a Shadow Angel named Apollonius, also known as the 'Solar Wing', who betrayed his Shadow Angel brethren for his love of the human warrior Seliane: They become convinced when he single-handedly unites the Vectors into Solar Aquarion and defeats the Cherubim. DEAVA discovers only people with special powers called Elements ( エレメント Eremento ?) can control the Vectors and, ultimately, unite the three to form a giant fighting robot with three transformations that is capable of beating the Cherubim.

The three Vectors are colored mostly in white and are the green Vector Luna ( ベクタールナ Bekutā Runa ?), the blue Vector Mars ( ベクターマーズ Bekutā Māzu ?), and the red Vector Sol ( ベクターソル Bekutā Soru ?). Gen Fudou disappears, but an organization called DEAVA ( ディーバ Dība ?, Division of EArth Vitalization Advancement) takes over the research of these machines, called Vectors ( ベクター Bekutā ?), trying to find out how to use them. Ordinary weapons prove ineffective against the Cherubim, but a human expedition under the leadership of Gen Fudou eventually excavates three very technologically advanced fighter planes. They are sentient, yet there are times when they are piloted by Shadow Angels.

The Shadow Angels facilitate their harvesting via giant, floating harvesting machines called harvest beasts ( 収穫獣 shūkakujū ?) which are guarded by giant mecha called Cherubim Soldiers ( ケルビム兵 Kerubimu Hei ?). The Shadow Angels extract the prana ( プラーナ purāna ?, life force) from the harvested humans to serve as energy and nutrition to them, but also to feed the legendary Tree of Life ( 生命の樹 Inochi no Ki ?). The Shadow Angels begin invading human cites on Earth to harvest human beings, dubbing them as 'the wingless ones', like cattle. They have been in slumber for twelve thousand years in their city of Atlandia ( アトランディア Atorandia ?) and have technology so advanced, it may be defined as very nearly magic.

Along with the disaster came the appearance of the Shadow Angels ( 堕天翅 Datenshi ?), winged beings with unexplainable powers and do not die of old age.

Eleven years before the start of the series, a disaster only referred to as the 'Great Catastrophe' destroyed/devastated significant parts of the world and killed off many of its inhabitants.
