Hey, Kids! You like Gundam? You like pirates? You like Star Wars? In what can only be considered an odd mismatch of all three, combined with a whole bunch of Universal Century knowledge that they manga expects you to know ahead of time. A student exchange to Jupiter is interrupted by terrorists, where Tobia Arronax must take the reigns of a Gundam protagonist and pilot a mobile suit to battle his way out. However, it turns out that the terrorists are actually freedom fighters, and it is actually the Jupiter Empire that is evil.
