"Born into a world at war, you join the military and quickly ascend to the rank of Marshal in the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. 21 countries across the Pacific Rim have banded together to create the PPDC and fight the most dangerous foe mankind has ever seen: KAIJU. These giant alien behemoths have come to Earth via dimensional Breaches and will not stop until the human race is exterminated. As a Marshal, you along with teams of human pilots from around the world take control of a team of military robots known as JAEGERS using a mental synergy called Drifting. The only way to stop the Kaiju threat is to amass and outfit the most powerful array of Jaegers possible and send the Kaiju back through the Breach!"
