Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack

About Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack

The year is U.C. 0093. At Anaheim Electronics ' factory in Von Braun on the Moon, Earth Federation Forces officer Chan Agi and Anaheim technician October Saran examine the RX-93 ν Gundam. Agi is hastily preparing the new Gundam for deployment because Char Aznable has declared war on the Earth Federation and Newborn Neo Zeon is in the process of dropping the asteroid Fifth Luna on the city of Lhasa, the site of EFF headquarters.

In the streets of Lhasa, a group of delinquents run away from Federation police. Among the teenager is Quess Paraya, the rebellious daughter of Vice-Minister of Foreign Affairs Adenauer Paraya. Quess is apprehended and taken back to her father, who has been tasked with an urgent diplomatic mission in space. Adenauer, his mistress Kathy, and Quess take a plane to the spaceport in Hong Kong. Along the way, Quess and her father argue about the Federation enforcing its edicts onto Spacenoids.

In space, the Fifth Luna drop operation is being coordinated by Nanai Miguel. The Londo Bell taskforce arrives to try and destroy the asteroid. Cyber Newtype Gyunei Guss, in the MSN-03 Jagd Doga, was guarding Fifth Luna against Amuro Ray in the RGZ-91 Re-GZ. However, they are intercepted by Char Aznable, piloting his MSN-04 Sazabi. Amuro argues that dropping the asteroid will cause a nuclear winter, but Char is certain in his belief that the selfish Federation officials living on Earth must be eradicated or else planet will become uninhabitable anyway. Char and Gyunei retreat as the asteroid reaches the point of no return.

At the Hong Kong spaceport, Adenauer's mistress leaves him after being harassed by Quess. Adenauer uses his authority to commandeer two seats on the shuttle departing for Londenion. At the same time, Mirai Noa is unsuccessfully trying to board the shuttle with her two children, but her letter of recommendation from Federal official John Bauer is insufficient. Adenauer gleans the situation from the ticket attendant and orders him to allow one person from Mirai's group to board, mentioning that he owes Bauer a favor. Mirai has her son, Hathaway Noa, take the open seat. She and Hathaway's sister, Cheimin Noa wait for the next shuttle,
