The story

The Universal Century, a history marked by space colonization and space warfare, has passed. Humanity's prosperity, which ushered in a new era known as the Regild Century (R.C.), was believed to endure alongside global peace. In RC 1014, Bellri Zenam, a pilot in training of the Capitol Guard is somehow chosen by the G-Self - a highly maneuverable Mobile Suit of unknown origin - to lead to uncover hidden truths that will shake the peace of the Regild Century era.

Gundam Reconguista in G recap

In Regild Century 1014, a thousand years after the Universal Century, the Capital Tower orbital elevator supplies Earth with energy. Bellri Zenam, a cadet in the Capital Guard, helps capture the G-Self and its pilot, Aida Surugan, a space pirate. Bellri can pilot the G-Self and joins her on the Amerian ship Megafauna. The Moon colony Towasanga launches the "Reconguista", a plan to retake Earth. The crew travels to Venus, where the Venus Globe makes the photon batteries everyone depends on. Bellri learns he and Aida are siblings from Towasanga's royal family. Cumpa Rusita, the Capital Army's founder, has been feeding everyone weapons technology to stir up war.
