What happens

Jikō Wakusei Gdleen (自航惑星ガデュリン, Jikō Wakusei Gadyurin), known simply as Gdleen, is a Japanese science fiction light novel series written by Yuto Ramon and illustrated by Hitoshi Yoneda. The first novel in the series, subtitled Kamigami no Mikotachi (神々の巫子たち; trans. The Shamans of the Gods), was published in September 1989 by Kadokawa Shoten under the Sneaker Bunko imprint. It was adapted into an original video animation and released in 1990. A role-playing video game based on the anime was developed by Jorudan and published by SETA, for the Super Famicom in 1991.
