Susumu brings the Wave Motion Activation Core to Earth which allows mankind to complete its first interstellar spaceship, the "BBY-01 Yamato". With Okita as the captain, Shima as the navigator, and Susumu as its tactical officer, the Yamato is commissioned to travel to planet Iscandar, in the Great Magellanic Cloud, with orders to retrieve a device able to restore Earth's environment. Before the Yamato can start its journey, it must counter an inbound Gamilan interplanetary ballistic missile targeted at them. (Source: Wikipedia)
