The plot is a bit difficult to wrap your brain around. In 2017, Earth satellites detect a gravitational anomaly coming from the direction of the constellation Lyra. When the signal is analyzed, it's revealed to be a transmission from the Voyager spacecraft, leading to the discovery of faster-than-light travel as well as a wormhole inside the core of Saturn's moon Titan. Others are soon discovered. Further exploration of these wormholes, or "inflation holes," results in the discovery, in the year 2197, of a planet ten parsecs from Titan which is dubbed the Quantum Core, which contains a wormhole identical to Titan's at its center and was apparently once occupied by a now-extinct alien species whose excessive use of wormhole travel resulted in the equatorial mass of the Core being burned away, leaving it in the shape of...well, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin an apple core.]]

A [[TwelveEpisodeAnime 13-episode anime series]] developed by RADIX and initially broadcast in 2003, ''Divergence Eve'' is rather controversial due to its excessively busty characters and use of fanservice (thanks to Toshinari Yamashita of ''Amazing Nurse Nanako'' fame - or infamy) in a story that would otherwise have been taken more seriously.
