U.C. 0097.
One year has passed since Laplace's Box was shown to the world as a result of the conflict known as the Laplace Incident.However, even after the existence of the"Box" (the "Charter of theUniverse Century"), which referred to the existence of the Newtype and its rights, there was no major change in the framework of the world. Meanwhile, during the "Laplace Incident," the Neo Zeon remnants of the "Sleeves" were temporarily disbanded, and their activities stagnated.
The two mobile suits called "Unicorn Gundam," which played a leading role in the conflict, were regarded as dangerous because of their abilities beyond human knowledge, and were sealed away in secret.
However, RX-0 Unicorn Gundam Unit 3, which disappeared two years ago and was erased from history, reappears in the Earth sphere.People are once again on the move forthe machine known as the "Fenex. Not only the Earth Federation Forces and the Sleeves' Company, but also the Luo Trading Company, a large corporation closely related to Anaheim Electronics, intervenes in the battle for the Fenix.
What is their true purpose for introducing the new mobile suit "Narrative Gundam"? ......
