SERIES SUMMARY
【シリーズあらすじ】

OVERVIEW

Piloting a Gundam to fight to defend the Earth! Suffering an attack from the sudden appearance of the enemy “UE”, Flit completes the “Gundam” together with technological developers of the Federation Forces. With the power to become strong while fighting, the unknown enemy “UE” is beaten back one by one. In order to protect mankind, the Gundam sallies forth!

EPISODE.01 THE SAVIOR, GUNDAM

AG 115: Orphaned by the Unknown Enemy assault on his home colony Orvan, Flit is raised on the Federation military’s Arinston Base on Nora. Believing that the day will come when humanity can turn the tide against the UE, he uses plans found in the AGE Device left to him by his mother to develop mankind’s savior–the mobile suit “Gundam”. Then, Nora is attacked by a new type of UE mobile suit. Flit pilots the Gundam he built to defend the people of Nora!

EPISODE.02 POWER OF AGE

Nora falls under the UE assault. Arinston Base’s commander Bruzar rushes to evacuate the civilians. Deputy commander Grodek, seeking an escape for the people of the colony, launches the new Federation ship Diva. Flit, piloting the Gundam, also attempts escape, but then notices a girl straggler. While attempting to save her and slip away into space, Flit is attacked by a UE. To fight off this fierce foe, Flit and Vargas activate the Gundam’s powerful “AGE System”!

EPISODE.03 SHATTERED COLONY

Nora’s collapse has almost reached the point of no return. Having taken the girl into his Gundam, Flit escapes into space, only to encounter a new, black enemy mobile suit. Meanwhile, Grodek, who has taken command of the Diva, fights to control the Colony Core and save Nora’s inhabitants from its collapse. Base commander Bruzar remains on Nora to complete the final preparation for the Colony Core’s ejection. They each risk their lives, giving their all for survival. As the Gundam and its shadowy foe face off, Flit hears unexpected words from the girl…

EPISODE.04 – WHITE WOLF

With Nora destroyed, Flit and the others set off for the colony Tordia via a rendezvous at Fardain. At that moment, the Diva’s ace pilot Woolf awakens from “healing sleep”. Known as the White Wolf, he asserts his claim to white mobile suits and challenges Flit for the pilot’s seat of the Gundam. The battle between Flit and Woolf glows white-hot! But just then, a huge UE battleship approaches!

EPISODE.05 – DEMON BOY

The Diva docks at Fardain. Flit, thrown into the chaos of combat, resolves to become stronger. Lost in thought as he races a Hoveride, Flit hits and injures a boy named Desil on the streets of Fardain. Flit invites Desil to the Diva for treatment, but he shortly becomes more trouble than anyone planned on. The UE’s assaults reach Fardain. The Gundam sorties. But just who is the pilot!?

EPISODE.06 – LIGHT AND SHADOW IN FARDAIN

Flit and Emily, caught up in a mobile suit battle which rages through Fardain, seek shelter in its undercity. There they encounter Iwark Bria, a man living on the edge. He tells them of the battles between the Euba and Zalam syndicates for control of Fardain. At that, Iwark’s daughter Riria surfaces and is caught in a battle between mobile suits. Iwark attempts to protect her using a construction MS. Flit sorties in the Gundam to save them both. As the mobile suit battle rages through Fardain, a new enemy suddenly appears…

EPISODE.08 EVOLVING GUNDAM

Flit, imprisoned by Zalam for the destruction he wreaked, is brought before their leader Don Boyage. Flit argues that Zalam and Euba should cease their feud over control of Fardain, but is rejected by Boyage. Then, Euba’s boss Ract Elfamel attacks at the lead of a mobile suit squadron. Another war breaks out within the colony. Flit stands forth in the Gundam to prevent it, but a UE assault sparks a three-sided battle. Unable to use beam weapons inside a colony, the Gundam takes on a new form to stand up to the UE!


TIMELINE
【年表】

■ A.G.101 (Advanced Generation): The space colony “Angel” is attacked by a mysterious enemy “UE” or “Unknown Enemy” and collapses. This horrible catastrophe that caused a great many sacrifices was later called “The Day the Angel Fell”. Following this, the UE continued to inflict pain and suffering upon the people of the Earth Sphere for a long time.

■ A.G.108: As the war with the UE continues, the thus far peaceful space colony of “Orvan” is attacked. A young seven year old boy, Flit Asuno, lived there until he became involved in the fires of war from the loss of his mother. The memory unit “AGE DEVICE”, passed down from generation to generation, is entrusted to him by his dying mother. There, the blueprints of an ancient mobile suit “Gundam” that was once called a messiah. Flit inherits his mothers expectations and decides to complete the “Gundam”.

■ A.G.115: Having turned 14, Flit is taken to the Federation Forces base Arinston on the space colony “Nora”. For the past seven years he continuously researched with base engineers to finally complete the Gundam. The Gundam was equipped with the ground breaking a self-evolving device called the “AGE SYSTEM”. And then the time they had all feared had come… The hand of UE’s demons had finally reached the peaceful colony of “Nora”. And now, Flit gets in the Gundam he created to fight. If Frite able to conquer the UE, the dreadful enemy that has never been beaten?
