A crew of colony kids on Shangri-La scrapes a living hauling junk, and Judau Ashta runs it alongside his sister Leina, until the AEUG warship Argama puts in and he tries to sell off one of its mobile suits. Neo Zeon follows the ship to Shangri-La, and Judau ends up in a cockpit under Captain Bright Noa. Toshiya Murakami's manga runs the story Yoshiyuki Tomino built for the television series across three volumes.
