Princess Marina leaves Azadistan and begins a worldwide diplomatic tour to seek help for her impoverished nation. Meanwhile, Kinue Crossroad’s younger brother Saji travels into space via the Human Reform League’s orbital elevator for an educational study tour. Saji is accompanied by his fellow student Louise Halevy, who seems to view this field trip as a romantic vacation.

The Human Reform League begins a performance test of the Tieren Taozi, an experimental mobile suit designed exclusively for the super soldier Soma Peries. Celestial Being sends Allelujah to observe the performance test, but he and Soma react strangely to each other’s presence. When Soma loses control and opens fire on the nearby low orbital station, Saji and Louise find themselves in deadly danger.

The Human Reform League holds a memorial service for the soldiers whose lives were lost in the recent interventions, and reaffirms its opposition to Celestial Being. Sergei Smirnov is placed in command of a new team whose mission is to eliminate the Gundams. The team’s trump card is a young woman who introduces herself as Soma Peries, Super Soldier Number 1.

An international crisis begins as the South American nation of Taribia declares its independence from the Union. In the Kingdom of Azadistan, a struggling Middle Eastern nation, Princess Royal Marina Ismail anxiously watches the crisis unfold. The fate of her own homeland, Marina realizes, may depend on the way in which Celestial Being responds to this dilemma.

The Union ace pilot Graham Aker confronts Setsuna as he leaves Ceylon. Graham’s Union Flag mobile suit proves to be no match for Setsuna’s Gundam, but he returns from battle to learn that he and Billy Katagiri have been reassigned to a new anti-Gundam investigative taskforce. In Tokyo, the news reporter Kinue Crossroad begins her own investigation, identifying Celestial Being’s spokesman as the legendary inventor Aeolia Schenberg… a man who died more than 200 years earlier.

Celestial Being begins its third mission. While Tieria and the Virtue return to space, the other Meisters conduct simultaneous interventions at three different points on Earth, and Setsuna is sent to eliminate the remaining Human Reform League forces on the island of Ceylon. Here he encounters another formidable new opponent in the form of veteran officer Sergei Smirnov, the dreaded Wild Bear of Russia.

As the world reacts with confusion to Celestial Being’s announcement, the Gundam Meisters prepare for a second mission which will clarify their intentions. While Allelujah and Tieria descend from space, Setsuna and Lockon make contact with the Celestial Being agent Wang Liu-Mei, and all four Gundam Meisters then join forces for an armed intervention on the island of Ceylon.

For more than 300 years, Ceylon has been wracked with ethnic conflict between the Sinhalese majority and the Tamil minority. The Human Reform League has been supporting the Tamil faction to ensure the security of its own solar power supply. Now Celestial Being steps in, as the Gundams carry out an intervention against both sides in the conflict.

At a military testing ground near its orbital elevator, the AEU is conducting a demonstration of its new Enact mobile suit. Among the audience are ace pilot Graham Aker and engineer Billy Katagiri of the Union forces. Suddenly, a white mobile suit descends from the sky and swiftly destroys the Enact. This intruder is the Gundam Exia, piloted by a young Gundam Meister codenamed Setsuna F Seiei, and its appearance marks the beginning of Celestial Being’s first mission.

Three more Gundam Meisters now make their entrances. Lockon Stratos and his Gundam Dynames provide fire support for Setsuna’s escape, while Allelujah Haptism’s Gundam Kyrios and Tieria Erde’s Gundam Virtue protect the Human Reform League’s orbital elevator from a terrorist attack. With the completion of its first mission, Celestial Being releases a video statement announcing its intentions. But who is the mysterious man who claims to represent the organization?
