Story
The Universal Century, a century of historic migration into space and space wars has ended, and some time has passed.
Now, mankind believes that their pursuits and prosperity will continue on peacefully into the new era, the Regild Century (R.C.)
R.C. 1014.
The Capital Tower is a space elevator connecting Earth to space and which towers over the land. The tower brings down from space Photon Batteries that power the Earth, and so is perceived as a holy place.
Bellri Zenam is a cadet in the Capital Guard which exists to protect the Capital Tower. In the middle of his first practice mission, he is attacked by the high-performance G-Self mobile suit, which uses technology possessed by no known nation.
Bellri engages with the work-model mobile suit Recten and successfully captures the G-Self.
But Bellri finds himself feeling strange emotions towards the girl who was piloting the G-Self, a Space Pirate called Aida Rayhunton.
As he does towards the G-Self which he believes he has never seen before.
And then, the G-Self, which is only supposed to be operable under specific circumstances, begins to activate.
Lying in wait behind the Space Pirate and Aida’s attack on the Capital Tower and the destiny of Bellri, now chosen by the G-Self, are truths which will shake the entire Regild Century.
And it is all just the beginning of Reconguista.
