Mobile Suit Gundam F91 recap
In UC 0123, after thirty years of peace, the Crossbone Vanguard, an army backed by the aristocratic Ronah family, invades the colony Frontier IV to build a new aristocratic nation, Cosmo Babylonia. Student Seabook Arno flees with friends, and his classmate Cecily Fairchild is revealed to be Berah Ronah, granddaughter of the Vanguard's founder Meitzer Ronah, and is taken to join them. Seabook finds the Gundam F91, designed by his mother, aboard a Federation ship, and learns to pilot it with a biosensor. Cecily's father, Carozzo Ronah, the masked Iron Mask, launches the Bugs, small killer drones that hunt people in the colonies to cut the population.
