Battle Angel, eh? I admit, I did enjoy reading the manga... but it's one of those worlds on my 'too dark to try saving' list, along with AD&D 'Dark Sun' and the White Wolf WoD composite. You kept my attention, thgouh, so that' a good start!
I actually had a vaguely similar idea once, intended for crossing into a sentai/mecha series like GaoGaiGar - except that GaoGaiGar already adresses something like it later in the series - a team that failed to protect their world and just barely escaped, with a city worth of civilian refugees, whose ship is breaking down so they have to stand again and fight the invaders that are only days or hours behind them. I eventually gave up on it because it would require way too much angsty crap, which I have neither interest nor particular talent for in anything more than miniscule doses.
- CDThat which does not kill us... has made its last mistake.
SERVO: Loook *deeeeply* into my eyes... Tell me, what do you see?
CROW: (hypnotized) A twisted man who wants to inflict his pain upon others.
