＜Story
-Do you know what Negen is?
If you know it, I'll take you there...
Twelve years have passed since the end of the Second Neo Zeon War (Char's Rebellion) in U.C. 0105-. Even after the "Axis Shock," which seemed to indicate the future of humanity and the cosmic century, the world is still in a state of confusion, and military conflicts are still occurring intermittently.
The Earth Federation government had become even more corrupt, with the upper echelons not only accelerating the pollution of the Earth, but also carrying out an inhumane policy of "manhunting" by forcibly taking civilians into space.
The anti-Earth Federation government organization "Mufti" led by a man called "Mufti Nabiyu Erin" stood up against such corruption in the Earth sphere.
Although they were involved in harsh terrorist acts, assassinating high-ranking officials of the Earth Federation government one after another, they had gained a certain amount of support from the people who were increasingly opposed to the Federation government.
The person who called himself the "Mufti" and commanded him was Hathaway Noah, the son of Bright Noah, an Earth Federation officer who had participated in the One Year War, and who had also taken part in stopping Char's rebellion.
He knew firsthand the ideals and ideals of Amuro Ray and Char Aznable, and as a warrior who bore the spirit of both men, he planned to carve out a path of resistance through military force.
However, an encounter with Kenneth Slegg, a colonel in the federal army, and Gigi Andalusia, a beautiful and mysterious girl, changes his destiny drastically.
