Having seen the animated series helps with visualization in places. However, there's a bit more detail in the behind the scenes of what characters are thinking that helps in making the story better.

In short, humanity is locked in a global war and nearing a breaking point. The arrival of the alien spaceship (SDF-1) puts the war on hold and creates a peace. Rebuilding the alien ship takes place between chapters as the reader jumps forward 10 years to the completion stage. Aliens arrive to 're'-claim the ship and the humans manning it must defend it.
