Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory

Synopsis

Continues the story of Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket

In the neutral Side 6 colony cluster, ten-year-old Alfred Izuruha is captivated by the conflict between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon, much like other children his age. Unknown to him, his neighbor Christina is secretly test-piloting a Federation prototype Gundam within the colony. The Zeon Special Forces learn of this and deploy a squad to the colony with orders to either capture or destroy the Gundam. As fighting erupts between Federation and Zeon forces, Alfred accidentally comes across a crashed Zaku mobile suit and encounters its pilot, Zeon recruit Bernard "Bernie" Wiseman. Through this chance meeting, Alfred and Bernie forge a connection; Alfred gains a direct view of the war he has always been curious about, while Bernie uses the information Alfred supplies to assist his mission in the colony.

In this installment

In the year 0083 of the Universal Century, the Earth Federation has emerged victorious over the Principality of Zeon in the One Year War. Yet, a Zeon remnant faction under Aguille Delaz survived and remained hidden. Three years later, this faction plans a renewed assault, dispatching their ace pilot Anavel Gato to infiltrate a Federation research base and seize one of two experimental Gundam prototypes, which is armed with a powerful nuclear weapon. To counter this threat and preserve global peace, the Earth Federation deploys the new carrier Albion, staffed with test pilots including rookie Kou Uraki, who operates the other prototype Gundam. The Albion and its crew are tasked with stopping Gato, recovering the stolen Gundam, and preventing the Zeon remnants from igniting another conflict.
