Synopsis

Set in the year of U.C. 0079, The Earth Federation troops and the Zeon forces fought an almost year-long war in a location called Side 4 or Mua for short. Many Mua civilians lost their lives in the Zeon forces' attacks. In the destroyed colony, the ruins of multiple destroyed battleships float to form a shoal of wreckage in space. This zone is now referred to as the Thunderbolt zone for all of the electrical storms. The survivors of the Mua civilization and the Earth Federation troops band together to save their treasured homeland from the Zeon forces. An MS pilot Io Flemming has joined up with the Earth Federation troops. There though on the battlefield, sniper Daryl Lorenz waits. They sense each other and they know that they are fated to kill each other.

In relation to the previous war, he was the head commander's son. Officer Claudia Peer and Mechanic Cornelius of the Mua unit are childhood friends of Io. The Zeon forces have been launching nonstop attacks on the beehive unit and as a result they have been going from commander to commander. In the MS Patrol unit, the superior officer has died and so Io, has been chosen to pilot the full armor Gundam. Refusing to be subdued and to lose both his family and homeland, Io is a bit of a daredevil. In order for him to fight in the cockpit of a Gundam, he has trained himself to detest the sound of fighters being crushed or killed.
