The year is After Colony 218 and peace is once again threatened. The era of tranquility lead by President Relena Yuy is about to come to a grinding halt. BLACK KLAW: An evil organization formed during the Great War of 195, when members of both O.Z. and the White Fang banded together and went into hiding. Over the years they have built up their forces and technologies. Lead by a powerful yet unknown general, their goal is to rid the world of this "false peace" by destroying the colonies and their Earth-based government.
However, Preventers' commander Heero Yuy catches on to this plan and initiates Operation Shooting Star: the recovering of the Gundam Mobile Suits. After they were self-detonated at the end of Dekim Barton's attack, Heero assembled the remain of the Gundams and launched them into pre-chosen locations in outer space, with the exception of Wing Zero which remained in its ruined form as a reminder of the destruction caused during the wars of 195-196. (Relena's idea)
New pilots were also needed and after many trials and tribulations, the children of certain Gundam Pilots have proven themselves worthy of the task. On their missions to retrieve the Gundams they encountered Shadow Klaw, Black Klaw's top pilot, who was later revealed to be Wufei's disgruntled nephew Kiento. And a mysterious mercenary known only as Nova Hunter, who acts as an enemy but fights as an ally.
The Gundams have been recovered and rebuilt stronger than before, their pilots are:
KARA PEACECRAFT, CODENAME: SPECTRE

Q.
