The novel begins in UC 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, and is said to cover an as yet unspecified major event that influences the course of human history forever. The main story takes place in UC 0096, three years after the events of Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack.


Characters

Barnarge Lynx : A 16 year old boy who is a student at Anaheim Industry Technical School in the colony "Industrial 7". He is described as seeing war as something akin to fiction, as he was born after the One Year War ended and did not experience the more isolated wars that followed it. However, upon meeting Audrey, he is drawn into a new conflict.

Full Frontal: A mysterious leader of Zeon remnant forces who is described as the "2nd coming of Char". Like Char Aznable, he is a blonde man whose face is hidden behind a mask, and he wears a red uniform and pilots a red mobile suit. Whether the name is an alias is unspecified.

Mobile Suits

RX-0 Unicorn Gundam: A pure white MS produced by the "UC Project," part of the Federation Space Force's reorganization plan. The entire movable frame of this experimental machine forms a psycoframe, and its responsiveness is incredibly high. It also incorporates a special "Laplace Program" OS and a system known as "NT-D." When NT-D is activated, the internal frame expands and the entire figure is transformed. In the process, the armor separates along its seams, and slides are released. A red glow can be seen where the internal frame is exposed by the gaps in the armor, and this is believed to be a psycoframe luminescence phenomenon. The machine's performance, in particular its mobility, is dramatically increased when NT-D is active. In this normal mode, it resembles a normal looking mobile suit.


RX-0 Unicorn Gundam (Destroy Mode): The Unicorn's appearance when the 'NT-D' system is activated. In this form, the psycoframe built into the entire body's movable frame reads the pilot's thoughts (psycowaves) and directly influences the unit's movements. In other words, the MS can ultimately be controlled by thought alone. However, when compared to one's idea of how a human body works, the stress of gravity on an 20 meter MS (more than 10 times the size) is extraordinary. Aided by the psycommu, the pilot's mind can only endure about five minutes of operation, after which a limiter is believed to activate, returning the MS to normal Unicorn form. Furthermore, the system activates not according to the pilot's discretion, but automatically when certain conditions, as yet unexplained, are met. In this mode, the mobile suit resembles a standard Gundam.


RGZ-95 ReZEL: a Londo Bell mobile suit intended as another attempt to mass-produces the MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam, after the failure of the RGZ-91 ReGZ. It uses the basic frame of the RGM-89 Jegan, and has a transformation system similar to the MSA-005 Methuss instead of the Back Weapons System(BWS). It is armed with a beam rifle and beam shield, and piloted by Liddy Marcenas.

D-50C Loto: A transformable tank mobile suit used by ECOAS. It is a predecessor of the F-50D/RXR-44 Guntank R-44.


AMS-129 Geara Zulu: A Neo-Zeon mass-production mobile suit. It is the successor to the AMS-119 Geara Doga. AMS-119 Geara Doga (production colors) The AMS-119 (MS-16) Geara Doga is a mobile suit from the anime movie Chars Counterattack. ...


NZ-666 Kshatriya: A green mobile suit fielded by Neo-Zeon, it is very similar in appearance to the NZ-000 Quin Mantha, though much smaller. It is armed with a total of twelve megaparticle cannons and twenty-four "beam saber funnels" Its pilot's name is Marida Cruz


MSN-06S Sinanju: Personal machine of Full Frontal, it strongly resembles the late Char Aznable's MSN-04 Sazabi. Developed by Anaheim Electronics, it equips a psycoframe and served as a testbed for the NT-D System. The resulting data was used by Anaheim to complete the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam, and the Sinange was subsequently stolen by Neo-Zeon in UC 0094.

MSN-001A1 Delta Plus: A variable mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics and supplied to the Nahal Argama after the loss of most of its MS complement in combat against the Kshatriya. An all-purpose attack mobile suit that can reenter the atmosphere unassisted and is also capable of atmospheric flight. Because it's a nonstandard prototype, it is difficult to place in a regular military unit, so it was sent to the Nahal Argama, which has numerous such unusual machines. It is based on the MSN-001 Delta Gundam, a transformable MS designed during the Gryps War that, because of problems with insufficient frame strength, was completed as the non-transforming MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. CG models of the Delta Gundam exist on the net, though it was never built. While Anaheim Electronics was trying various approaches to develop a production model of the Zeta series as a transformable MS, it also simultaneously conducted a reinvestigation of the shelved Delta plan and created the MSN-001A1 Delta Plus as a result. It's said that a few units of the Delta Plus were produced as a mass production prototype.
