The story
After Colony (A.C.) 195. Mankind has moved into space. Thousands of people live on giant orbiting space colonies called "Sides." However, the Earth Government, which rules the colonies, is unjust and cruel. A group of revolutionaries builds five robotic weapons called Gundams and plans to send them to Earth to begin their fight for independence. Piloted by five young men, these Gundams carry the hopes and dreams of freedom of the colonists with them as they descend to Earth to begin Operation Meteor!
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing recap
In After Colony 195, the space colonies, under the Earth Sphere Alliance, send five Gundams to Earth in Operation Meteor to strike at the Alliance and its secret military society, OZ. The pilots are Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Raberba Winner and Wufei Chang. Heero meets Relena Darlian, who is later revealed to be the heir to the pacifist kingdom of Sanc. OZ, led by Treize Khushrenada, uses the Gundams' attacks to take over the Alliance. Zechs Merquise, OZ's ace, is Relena's brother, Milliardo Peacecraft. The pilots are scattered, captured and forced to rebuild their Gundams, and OZ itself splits as the Romefeller Foundation takes control and makes Relena a figurehead queen. Zechs takes over the White Fang, colonists who want to destroy Earth.
