Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory

In the year 0083 of the Universal Century, a powerful mobile suit known as the GP02A is stolen from the Earth Federation’s Anaheim Electronics by a group of Zeon remnants. The thief, Anavel Gato, plans to use the mobile suit to carry out Operation Stardust, a mission to drop a colony on the Earth and hold the planet hostage.

The Earth Federation responds by sending the Albion, a mobile suit carrier, to pursue Gato and recover the stolen mobile suit. Led by Captain Eyphar Sinapus, the Albion’s crew includes a young test pilot named Kou Uraki, who becomes the main protagonist of the story.

As the battle between the Albion and Gato’s forces intensifies, Kou finds himself caught up in a complex web of intrigue and deception. He must confront his own doubts and fears in order to uncover the truth behind Operation Stardust and prevent a catastrophic war from breaking out.
