Mobile Suit Gundam: Crisis Response Team
Prologue
The date is 81 EC. (Expansion Century) Mankind, captivated by its pioneer spirit, has moved from earth to new homes all across the solar system. Man built massive, cylindrical space colonies to orbit earth. Man developed Climate-alteration systems to help reshape the faces of the moon and Mars for life to grow. Man developed nuclear fusion and massive solar panels to provide power for generations without fail.
But more significantly that that, man made peace with himself. The nations of Earth and her neighbors founded the United Human Alliance, a massive governing entity that ruled all colonies and planets. Peace was kept with mobile suits, massive humanoid machines that had incredible combat potential, and a powerful fleet of battleships.
Sadly, however, peace could not last. In 79 EC a previously unknown planetoid undergoing restoration revealed itself: Titan, the sixth moon of Saturn. Secretly founded and governed by the fascist Colonial Authoritarian Titan System, or CATS, the area simultaneously revealed itself, declared its independence, and launched a war on the UHA by destroying the fleet stationed above the moon of Phobos and invading Mars. Many colonies, already infiltrated by CATS-sympathetic personnel, automatically declared their loyalty to CATS. With the usage of advanced mobile suits such as the powerful Zaku, the speedy Dom, the destructive Gouf, and the agile Kampfer, Mars's restoration zones quickly surrendered in 80 EC.
Fortunately, not all was lost for the Federation. A surviving ship from the Phobos fleet had managed to return to earth, bringing with it a powerful mobile suit prototype, the RX-78 Gundam. The Gundam proved to be superior to any CATS suit, and more were quickly produced to aid the current RGM-79 GM. In addition, a new unit, the RX-79 Gundam was produced in small numbers. This new Gundam, a powerful combat unit, was given to selected Special Forces teams, one of them being the Crisis Response Team 1. This is their story.
