Path of Destruction
Saji mourns the loss of his sister. The Trinity siblings are betrayed and launch a brief counterattack after their compound's location is revealed, destroying one of the 10 GN-X units from Choubu's assault force. The UN Army continues its assault on Celestial Being, attacking the Ptolemaios in space. Raguna Harvey is killed after Corner learns that it was he that created and sold the GN-X units. The Meisters' units are out-numbered, and they struggle to defend themselves against the GN-Xs firepower. During the battle, Alejandro Corner accesses Veda and deactivates the GN drive of the Meisters' units, leaving them defenseless. However, Sumaragi activates a backup system and every unit except Virtue is able to reactivate. Seeing Tieria's crippled state, Patrick Colasaur goes for the killing blow. Lockon is able to intercept the attack, but is severely injured. The battle ends with the UN Army retreating after losing two of their GN-X units, and the timely arrival of the GN Arms.

Mobile Suit Gundam 00
It is the year A.D. 2307. Fossil fuels on Earth have been depleted entirely, with mankind turning to the next available power source: solar energy. During this time, 3 orbital elevators with solar power generation systems are built, each under control by the Union (formerly United States of America), the Human Reformist Alliance (Russia, China and India) and the AEU (Europe). However, not all countries are able to enjoy the benefits of this system, leading to widespread resentment and war. Arising out of the conflict, a mysterious non-profit military organization known as Celestial Being appears, dedicated to end all warfare using Mobile Suits called Gundam. This begins the stories of Gundam Meisters (pilots) Setsuna F. Seiei, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah Haptism and Tieria Erde as they are thrown into conflict between the 3 superpowers and the other various factions.
