Five young pilots, Heero Yuy, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton, Quatre Winner, and Chang Wufei, take up Gundams to wage guerrilla war against the United Earth Sphere Alliance's grip on the orbiting space colonies of AC 195. This manga retells the original Gundam Wing story from scratch, folding in material from the Episode Zero prequel and the Frozen Teardrop novels to give the fullest version of the war. Relena Darlian, daughter of a pacifist politician, becomes entangled with Heero as the conflict spreads across Earth and space.
