At the climax of the Eve War, on December 24th of the year A.C. 195, the armies of the World Nation and White Fang met in a ferocious battle. World Nation leader Treize Khushrenada was slain, White Fang leader Zechs Merquise disappeared, and Earth was saved from destruction by the intervention of the five Gundam pilots.
Having witnessed the consequences of war and hatred, the peoples of Earth and the space colonies put aside their differences and together founded a new world government. Under this newly-formed Earth Sphere Unified Nation, the world disarms itself, and almost every remaining mobile suit is destroyed.
A year of peace has passed. Deciding to follow suit, Gundam pilots Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, and Quatre Raberba Winner place their mighty mobile suits inside an asteroid and send them on a one-way voyage to the sun. However, even as they bid their Gundams farewell, a new conflict draws near.
