Overview
During the end of the seventh space war between the United Nations Earth and the Space Revolutionary Army, a large colony drop devastated the surface of the planet Earth, killing over 10 billion inhabitants and ending the war. Fifteen years after the war a young boy named Garrod Ran rescuses a girl named Tiffa Adill from a group of Vulture's, uncovering a mobile suit from the war in an abandoned base. Using the Gundam X he is able to defeat the group of men he was hired by to rescue Tiffa after learning that she feared them. Joining with the Vultures he learns from their captain Jamil Neate that his personal mission is to rescue New types to prevent them from being used like he and other New types were during the war. Garrod joins with Jamil and his ship the Freeden along with two other gundam pilots Roybea Loy and Witz Sou, the pilots of the Gundam Leopard and Gundam Airmaster.

Continuing on with their mission they destroy the Alternative Company along with finding a dolphin with New type abilities, as well as a Cyber Newtype named Carris Nautilus. The crew of the Freeden also discover that the Space Revolutionary Army still exists and one group still wants to take over the Earth, a short time later they uncover that the United Nations Earth has reformed as the New United Nations Earth with the goal to unite the Earth and take over space as well. Two New types working with the New UNE are Olba and Shagai Frost, class F New types with the ability to communicate telepathically and pilot the Gundam Ashtatron and Gundam Virsago, the brothers secretly working to destroy the world to get revenge for being called useless. During a trip to the New type Research Lab run by a private company working with the New UNE, Tiffa is kidnapped by Nicola Fafas and taken to the Space Colony called Cloud 9 where she meets the leader of the colonies Seidel Rasso and Commander Lancerow Dawell. Using the Gundam Double X taken from the New UNE, Garrod barters passage on a ship of the SAR leaving Earth to return to Cloud 9, the Freeden destroying itself in a battle to stall the New UNE forces from shooting down the ship. In his attempt to rescue Tiffa, Garrods plan fails when he faces Lancerow in combat and is rescued himself by Pala Sys in her G-Falcon, and taken to Satyricon.

With the help of Pala, Garrod rescues Tiffa from Cloud 9 and destorys the Colony Laser before it can be used on the Earth. The victory is short lived as Garrod and the others are captured by Olba and Shagia Frost as the New UNE launches its forces into space, taking the three down to the planet so Garrod and Tiffa can meet with Fixx Bloodman, the leader of the New UNE. After meeting with Bloodman, Tiffa reads his mind and finds something that the colony leader Rasso had in his mind too, a being named D.O.M.E.. Learning that the crew of the Freeden have been captured abd sentenced to death Tiffa and Garrod excape along with Pala, the group heading off to help their friends only to be rescued by them along with Carris. With Carris help Jamil and the crew of the Freeden take over a new spaceship designed by the New UNE, calling the ship the Freeden II and taking off into space as the 8th space war begins.

Following Tiffa's directions the Freeden II goes to the moon, bringing Rasso and Bloodman with them as well on their own warships, uncovering the mysterious D.O.M.E. that was calling to Tiffa. The Frost brothers ignore the summons of the ships, and the orders of Bloodman to stop the fighting while he finds out what is going on, resparking the war as a special forces group takes over the microwave system so they can use it for their Satellite Launcher. D.O.M.E. explains the true meaning of what a New type is, what he is, and starts to bring the two groups together, the momentary understanding shattered as they leave the moon to find the war still going on. Using their powerful weapon the Frost brothers destroy both Bloodman's and Rasso's warships, killing both of the leaders. Garrod uses his Double X to defeat the two brothers and destroy the powerful microswave system so that it can no longer be used to power the deadly weapons of the old and new UNE. The Freeden II's crew returns to Earth along with the others, the 8th space war ending quickly and the world coming to live in peace.
