Collection: Gundam 00

"Anno Domini" Era In the year 2307 CE, fossil fuel reserves ran out, and humanity had to turn to solar energy. At this time, there are three orbital elevators, equipped with systems for generating energy from sunlight, each controlled by one of the three dominant blocs of nations: the "Union" (Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations), made up of the American continent, Oceania and Japan (led by the United States of America); the “League of Human Reform”, formed by Russia, China and India; and finally the “AEU” (Advanced European Union), heir to the European Union. However, the benefits derived from this equipment do not benefit all nations, fueling resentment and leading to various conflicts, some of which date from the 20th century and the 21st century (Northern Ireland, Sri Lanka, Colombia, etc.).

The story begins when the Human Reform League's orbital elevator is the victim of a terrorist attack. Attack thwarted by the intervention of an unknown organization, which possesses Mobile Suit Gundams, and which responds to the name "Celestial Being". This new organization announces that it will now use these Gundams and their force to put an end to all existing armed conflicts, without distinction of race, religion or nationality of the belligerents.
