Mobile Suit Gundam Narrative: The Next Chapter

In the year U.C. 0097, the world is still reeling from the events of the Laplace Incident. Despite the revelation of the Universal Century Charter, which acknowledges the existence and rights of Newtypes, the framework of the world has not changed much. The conflict between the Earth Federation and the Neo Zeon remnants, known as the Sleeves, has ended, and the powerful psycho-frame mobile suits have been sealed away.

However, a new threat emerges in the form of the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03, also known as Phenex, a golden phoenix that is about to make its presence known in the Earth Sphere once more. This powerful mobile suit is said to possess power beyond human understanding, and its reappearance sets off a chain of events that will change the course of history.
