A marshal of the Alliance, dead for fifty years, came back to life, reborn in the body of a delinquent girl who had been beaten to death.
Tang Ying kept telling people she was the Alliance Marshal. Furious, the Alliance military accused her of insulting the marshal and sent her to serve on a desolate planet in a remote star region, where not even birds laid eggs.
Tang Ying was completely unfazed. It was just starting over. Who couldn't do that?
When she heard that placing near the top in the Mecha Championship came with countless rewards, Tang Ying immediately set her sights on several new recruits with high mental strength. The five of them formed a mecha squad and entered the competition.

In the new Alliance Mecha Championship, a squad from Tiannu Star, long a bottom-of-the-rankings planet, suddenly emerged as a dark horse.
Planetary qualifiers → System qualifiers → Sector qualifiers → Alliance qualifiers.
The strongest squad swept through every round, taking everything that wasn't nailed down and leaving nothing behind.
Every squad that faced them accused them of shamelessness. Every restricted zone they passed through was left utterly barren.
StarNet users: “I've watched the competition for years, and I've never seen such a shameless mecha squad.”
Restricted Zone Supervisor: “There are only a few S-rank mutant creatures in the restricted zone, and they didn't even attack you. Did you really have to kill them all? At least leave them a chance to reproduce! You wiped out the whole nest, for crying out loud. Are you even human?”
Other squads: “Every team does something underhanded now and then to get a better ranking, but you lot have taken shamelessness to a whole new level. It's downright outrageous!”
…
Faced with accusations and abuse from every direction, the strongest squad wasn't the least bit nervous. They sighed: As expected, once you become famous, trouble follows.
