[edit] Plot
Gaia Gear is a story set in the future of the Universal Century timeline of the Gundam anime universe, specifically in UC 203. Once more, the governments of Earth and its space colonies are at odds and resolve their differences with mecha. This time the resistance group Metatron fights against the Man Hunting Attachment police force of the corrupt Earth Federation. To have better chances Metatron creates a memory clone of the legendary Char Aznable called Afranshia Char, who commands the troops of Metatron and pilots the Gaia Gear Alpha.
[edit] Retconning
The series was one of Gundam creator's Tomino's early visions of the future of the Gundam universe. The novels and radio dramas have now both been superseded by later works released by Sunrise (Gundam's copyright co-owner), and the novels are now considered to take place in an alternate history.
