Kidou Senshi Gundam SEED C.E. 73: Stargazer

In C.E. 73, the fall of Junius Seven helps ignite another war between the Earth Alliance and PLANT. Far from the front lines, researcher Selene McGriff works with the neutral DSSD on Stargazer, an advanced mobile suit designed not for war but for autonomous exploration of deep space.

The conflict reaches them anyway. Sven Cal Bayang, a Natural pilot raised by the Earth Alliance's Phantom Pain unit, carries out brutal anti-Coordinator operations in the Strike Noir. When military interests turn toward DSSD and its technology, Sven and Selene are forced onto intersecting paths, placing a machine built to seek the stars at the center of a human war.
