Script error: No such module "portal-inline".

Script error: No such module "Nihongo". is a twelve-volume manga series created by manga artist Kia Asamiya. The series ran for 12 volumes from 1989 to 1999. It is centered on the lives of an all-female group of police officers dedicated to protecting Tokyo from an invasion of extra-dimensional creatures called Lucifer Hawks.

The series has been adapted into animation twice, first as a pair of films from 1991 to 1992 and later as a 26-episode television series in 1998. The first film was dubbed in English and released in the United States by Streamline Pictures, which was followed by a release of the entire anime by Bandai Entertainment with an English dub from Ocean Productions. The series also was adapted into the Japan-exclusive J-RPG Silent Möbius: Genei no Datenshi for the PlayStation in 1998, featuring an original plot.

A new manga series entitled Silent Möbius QD began in 2013 as a sequel to the original series and concluded in 2019 after five volumes.

Plot

In 1999, Gigelf Liqueur, aided by the Magician's Guild, set into motion a plan to open a gate between Earth and the world of Nemesis. The intent was to exchange Earth's polluted air and water with clean air and water from Nemesis. To aid in this endeavor, a huge cyclotron was built under Tokyo. However, Ganossa Maximilian, Gigelf's old apprentice, sabotaged the plan by opening the gate early and perverting the gate for his own means. For a number of years following this event, Gigelf and the Magician's Guild battled an invasion of Lucifer Hawk, their name for the inhabitants of Nemesis. Gigelf was killed in 2006 and it appeared the rest of the Guild met with similar fates over the next few years.

In 2023, Rally Cheyenne felt partially responsible for the growing attacks on innocent humans by marauding creatures from Nemesis. She is of mixed heritage because her mother Lufa Cheyenne was a Magician's Guild member but her father was from Nemesis. Rally started the organization called the Attacked Mystification Police (AMP), with only three officers (Kiddy Phenil, Lebia Maverick, and Nami Yamigumo) and a sub-commander (Mana Isozaki). Over the next few years, she added Yuki Saiko, Katsumi Liqueur, and Lum Cheng to the team, all aiding in the fight to protect Earth from the vicious Lucifer Hawk.

Generic term for the more powerful types of Lucifer Folk from Nemesis, an Extra-dimensional world which is home to Lucifer Folk. Humans have categorized them into three different types based on their capabilities: Category 3 are most common, but low intelligence; Category 2 have some intelligence and can communicate through speech; Category 1 have status in Nemesis, can communicate through speech and are capable of independent thought. The Streamline dub of the first film rewrites Lucifer Hawk as an individual character instead of a species.
