The sudden death of Zeon Zum Deikun from a suspiciously-timed heart attack triggers violent riots throughout the space colonies, leading directly to the formation of a new power which stands opposed to the Earth-based Federation government. Deikun’s two surviving children find themselves targets and are forced into hiding, eventually taking drastically different paths through life to end up on opposing sides of the conflict between the Federation and newly minted Zeon forces.
A character-focused war drama laced with action scenes and reaction-based comic relief. It’s a prequel to the first Gundam series and can be watched without having seen anything else in the franchise.
