Synopsis :
The year is Cosmic Era 71. During the critical stage of the war between the Earth Alliance and ZAFT, the EA high commands made the decision to invade the neutral nation, Orb. During their attack on Orb, a young civilian, Shinn Asuka, loses his parents and younger sister right before his eyes. Filled with grief and sorrow, and realizing that he needs to get stronger, Shinn leaves Earth for PLANT and decides to join ZAFT.

Two years have passed. The war has since ended, and the Junius Treaty, signed between the EA and ZAFT, made significant provisions to avoid any future wars between the two fractions. Weapons of both sides are being scrapped due to a quota on mobile suits and a ban on nuclear and Mirage Colloid weapons. ZAFT is now managed by a moderate council headed by Gilbert Dullindal, who wishes for peace between Naturals and Coordinators at last.

Shinn Asuka meanwhile is now an elite pilot for ZAFT serving under Dullindal. During a visit from new Orb Union leader Cagalli Yula Athha, the base Shinn and Dullindal are on is attacked by an unknown enemy. Three of ZAFT's new mobile suit protoypes are stolen, and they proceed to wreak havoc on the base. To defend the base from this enemy, Shinn pilots the new Impulse Gundam. And he can only wonder why people would want to once again bring the grief that is war.
