Sol Bianca (ソルビアンカ Sorubianka?) is a two-volume original video animation (OVA) anime series released in 1990 and 1991 by director Katsuhito Akiyama in association with AIC. Sol Bianca: The Legacy is a remake of this series.
The name of the OVA is also the name of the ship that serves as both the home and the interstellar headquarters for an all-female band of notorious pirates. Thanks to a stowaway who hides himself aboard their ship following one of their raids, they learn of the ultimate treasure: the Gnosis (pronounced "G'Nohsis" in dialogue), an artifact reputedly from old Earth itself.
Unfortunately for them, the Gnosis happens to be in the hands of Emperor Batros, the brutal ruler of the planet Tres (pronounced "trez" in dialogue) who is executing great numbers of enemies, real or speculated, as a result of his military occupation of the neighboring planet Uno. Armed with a little luck, a sniper gun that can shoot from orbit, and a technologically advanced ship, the crew of the Sol Bianca are about to make a run for the greatest prize of all.
Note: In the English Dub it's "Jenny".
He uses the guise of the Gnosis, to convince the Sol Bianca crew to take him there, where he plans to rescue his mother.
A single game was released based on the movie for the Turbo CD on June 29, 1990 by NCS. As the movie was only initially released in Japan, and due to the failings of the TurboGrafx-16 in America, the title was never released in North American markets. The format is a role-playing game. It featured the ship's crew from Sol Bianca and offered seven episodes.
