01 - Angry Eyes
In year 72 of the Cosmic Era, the Junius Treaty brought the hostilities between ZAFT and the Earth Alliance to a formal conclusion. The treaty banned all military use of nuclear weapons and nuclear power, and placed strict limits on the size of the ZAFT and Earth Alliance forces. However, there are still tensions between the genetically enhanced Coordinators and the unmodified Naturals, and the peace between them remains fragile.
In October of C.E. 73, Cagalli Yula Athha, chief representative of the neutral Orb Union, arrives at the ZAFT military station Armory One. She is accompanied by her bodyguard, the former ZAFT soldier Athrun Zala, who now goes by the alias Alex Dino.

Their conversation is interrupted as mysterious intruders attack Armory One and capture three of ZAFT's newest Gundam mobile suits.
02 - Those Who Call For War
With Armory One under attack, Athrun commandeers a ZAFT mobile suit to get Cagalli to safety. The three captured Gundams engage Athrun's ZAKU in combat, but he is rescued by the sudden appearance of the young ZAFT pilot Shinn Asuka and his Impulse Gundam.

04 - Stardust Battlefeild
The Minerva follows the Girty Lue into the debris belt that surrounds Earth, and sends Shinn and his comrade Lunamaria Hawke in pursuit of the enemy mothership.

Just as all seems hopeless, Athrun devises a plan to help the Minerva escape from the enemy trap. Neo recalls his forces, and the battered Minerva is forced to abandon its pursuit. It seems as if the fighting is finally over, but an even greater crisis is already developing.
05 - Scars That Won't Heal
Aboard the Minerva, Chairman Durandal receives shocking news. The ruins of Junius Seven, the PLANT that was destroyed in the infamous Bloody Valentine incident and where the armistice treaty was later signed, have left their stable orbit and begun falling towards Earth.
