Story
The series is set in Universal Century 0083, three years after the end of the One Year War chronicled in Mobile Suit Gundam. Remnants of Zeon led by Aiguille Delaz and Anavel Gato steal a prototype Gundam mobile suit armed with a nuclear warhead from an Earth Federation base in Australia. Earth Federal Forces test pilot and series protagonist Kou Uraki commandeers the other prototype Gundam in an attempt to prevent the theft. Unable to stop Gato in Australia, the EFF carrier Albion captained by Eiphar Synapse is ordered to pursue Gato and recover the stolen Gundam. With Uraki's squadron and Anaheim Electronics engineer Nina Purpleton onboard, the ship tracks Gato to Africa, then to outer space, encountering resistance from surviving Zeon forces along the way. The true objective of Delaz and his Operation Stardust is revealed in the series' climax. The series ends with the creation of the Titans, an elite Zeon-hunting division of the Federal Forces, the main antagonists in Zeta Gundam.
