Ultimately, the two sides opted for the last resort of diplomacy - in other words, they went to war. Our story begins roughly a year later. Heliopolis, a resource satellite belonging to a neutral nation, is suddenly attacked by a Zaft mobile suit force. Their goal is to seize the Atlantic Alliance's newest Gundam mobile suits, which the Alliance has produced here amid total secrecy. The raid is successful, and Zaft captures four of the Gundams. Kira Yamato, a student at an industrial college, is drawn into the conflict when he is reunited with his old friend Aslan Zara. Tragically, Kira finds that his comrade Aslan and the other Coordinators are now his enemies. For patriotism's sake, Aslan sets out to defeat Kira. One against four... the battle of the Gundams begins! *** description from Mecha Anime HQ, character names from NewType *** Character Seiyuu (Voice Talent) Athrun Zara Ishida Akira Cagalli Yula Athha Shindou Naomi Dearka Elthman Sasanuma Akira Fllay Allster Kuwashima Houko Kira Yamato Hoshi Souichirou Lacus Clyne Tanaka Rie Murrure Ramius Mitsuishi Kotono Mwu La Fllaga Koyasu Takehito Natarle Badgiruel Kuwashima Houko Nicol Amarfi Matsui Mami Raww Le Klueze Seki Toshihiko Yzak Jule Seki Tomokazu STAFF story: Hajime Yare, Yoshiyuki Tomino director: Mitsuo Kukada series organization: Chiaki Morosawa character design: Hisashi Hirai mecha design: Kunio Ogawara (Note: mispelling of Kunio Ookawara?), Kimitoshi Yamane art director: Shigemi Ikeda production: Sunrise
