In an emergency shelter, civilians, including Amuro and Fraw, feel the explosions caused by Gene's attack. Gene breaks away, ignoring Denim's orders and fires on the suits, destroying them. Gene running off to attack the Federation Base.īack on the colony, Gene and Denim watch as the Federation prepares a few mobile suits to be transported. Char believes that he has just stumbled upon it. Char knows well that the Federation has been working on the 'V Project', a large project to build mobile suits of their own intended to be more powerful than those used by Zeon. On his Musai cruiser, located near the colony, Zeon officer Char Aznable is watching the situation with his second in command, Dren.

Tem hopes to mass-produce the Gundam in order to finally end the war. On board the ship, Ensign Bright Noa tells Amuro's father, Tem Ray, that they will be docking soon. He believes that White Base, along with another secret weapon, the mobile suit RX-78-2 Gundam, will give the Federation a great advantage in the war. Near the colony, a Federation officer is speaking about the new warship which is docking, the SCV-70 White Base. Amuro eventually comes out in his own car and he and Fraw drive off. Fraw accosts Hayato for not warning Amuro, but he simply responds by bitterly commenting that if military engineers like Amuro's father hadn't come to the colony, they wouldn't need to evacuate. While Amuro gets himself ready, Fraw goes outside to find their neighbor Hayato Kobayashi, who was driving the car the Zeon pilots had seen earlier. Fraw finds Amuro tinkering with a microscope and informs him that there's a warship docking soon, and the whole sector is being evacuated as a result.

That person is a young woman named Fraw Bow, who is running to her neighbor, Amuro Ray, accompanied by a basketball-sized green robot named Haro. Their plan is to spy on the colony, but they find things almost deserted, save for a lone car driving along, and one person that is visible. Three Zeon pilots, Slender, Gene, and Denim, enter Side 7 in their MS-06F Zaku II mobile suits. Eight months have passed since the rebellion began and both sides are at a stalemate. Initial fighting lasted a month with both sides losing half their respective populations. Nine months ago, the group of colonies furthest from the Earth, Side 3, declared itself the Principality of Zeon and declared war on the Earth Federation. Mankind has moved much of its population into gigantic space colonies.
