Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance: the plot
It is the year 0079 of the “Universal Century” and the Principality of Zeon has declared its independence from the Earth Federation. A war with no holds barred between the two factions then begins, where the Mobile Suit pilots will have a decisive role. A year after the start of the violent conflict, the Federation returns to command a strategic base in Eastern Europe that was previously under Zeon rule. It is here that Iria Sorari, a member of the elite Proton Red Wolf Mobile Suit team newly arrived from space, joins the various troops to liberate the base, a mission in which all battalions will come face to face with forces of high level, the new Mobile Suit prototypes. The fate of humanity hangs in the balance… what will happen?
