Gundam Project: Gaia Gear

GAIA GEAR

More Information

Story Date
Universal Century 0203

As of this writing, Gaia Gear represents the final chapter of the Universal Century saga, though it's possible that the subsequently-released Gundam F91 and V Gundam may have diverted the course of history so as to render Gaia Gear's version invalid. In this far-future saga, set more than a century after Char's Counterattack, the resistance group Metatron struggles against the Federation police force known as Maha. Metatron's secret weapon is their genetically-engineered leader, a "memory clone" of legendary hero Char Aznable.

Penned by Gundam creator Yoshiyuki Tomino, this epic saga was serialized for five years in the pages of Newtype magazine, starting in April 1987. The in-progress story was published as a series of five novels. After the serial's conclusion, Gaia Gear was adapted as a 26-episode radio drama, which aired in 1992. The radio drama was then repackaged as a five-part "CD book" series.
