About 10 months after The Messiah Incident, 9th March, C.E.74..

The PLANTS have recovered from the loss, but it's once great fleet of Zaft now lies in utter disarray. The Earth Alliance which was destroyed when the Requiem fired it's big beam at it has been replaced by the newer and more powerful country known as Orb. However, even with every nation on earth in alliance with Orb, extremists were still rampart in the world as a whole..

Thus, on this very day, Orb's Representative, Cagalli Yula Attha authorized the formation of the best and brightest of pilots who would defend the peace.

Their capital ships were to be the now supposed unsinkable Archangel, the legendary Eternal and three of Orb's new all terrain Trindade class cruisers. Theirs pilots, to be unstoppable in their quest for peace. Their name, The Angels of Freedom.,

However, what would a group like this be of any use when none had yet been chosen to be in this amazing group that even had the Dom troopers of the Clyne Faction? The answer was to simply have auditions today at the newly upgraded Orb Military Headquarters.

Knock Knock, came a soft sound from the door. Major Kira Yamato, now nearly nineteen years old, and youngest major in the force, looked up from his desk. "Enter", he whispered glumly.

Through the door came his lifelong friend Athrun Zala and Lacus Clyne, who had just married Kira not two weeks ago.

"Hi Kira! We just got the list of pilots who would best suit your new squadron that you're making." Athrun walked jovially up to Kira's desk and placed a single piece of paper on it.

"Hold on a sec would you?" Kira's mood immediately brightened as he quickly strode up to Lacus and asked, " How are you my dear wife?"

"I'm perfectly fine Kira. Why don't you settle your business with Athrun first?" Lacus laughed light-heartedly.

"Okay." Kira faked a frown and turned to Athrun.

"So! How many did you get?" Kira took a look at the list and nearly fainted in shock.

"ON.. ONLY FIVE OUT OF MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND PILOTS FROM ORB? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE OTHER COUNTRIES?" Came a roar that could be heard by a certain girl by the name of Cagalli who was more than 3 Kilometers away.

"Oops looks like Athrun's just shown Kira my list of suggested pilots." She giggled.

"Its not my fault! These were the only pilots who had been able too get through both the Jachin Due battle and the Messiah Incident simulations." Athrun cried as he closed his ears, trying to prevent them from bursting under the level of noise Kira was making. Lacus merely smiled, as if Kira had made a very good joke instead of screaming his guts out.

When Kira finally regained his composure, he apologized to his wife and Athrun before looking through the few eligible pilots' profiles that would get the chance to join the Angels of Freedom.

Finally, he shook his head, dropped into his chair and rubbed his temples. Moments later, he said, " Well, I hoped for more but I guess just these two pilots will have to do. Could you move them from their bunks immediately and bring them to the Archangel Hanger Major Athrun Zala?" He circled two names on the paper and handed it back to Athrun.

" No problem Major Yamato. By the way, who did you pick." Athrun saluted with a smile as he took the list.

" Why don't you look for yourself?" Kira retorted with a smile of his own.

"Hmm..

Stellar Louisser and..

Mayu Asuka."
