Zone of the Enders: 2167 Idolo

Synopsis

Set a few years before the events chronicled in Z.O.E Dolores,i, this OVA centers on the "Deimos Incident," an act of terrorism carried out by revolutionaries from Mars. Radium and Viola, the BAHRAM army's finest pilots, have been handpicked to spearhead testing of a new weapon system—one that Mars hopes will free the planet from the oppressive rule of the UNSF (United Nations Space Force). This cutting-edge technology, dubbed the "Orbital Frame," runs on an incredibly scarce and potent energy source known as the metatron ore. The OVA portrays both the Deimos incident itself and the chain of events leading up to it.
