Synopsis of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED
EC 71: In the midst of the war between the Naturals (OMNI) and the Coordinators (ZAFT), a ZAFT unit is sent to hijack the Earth Alliance’s newly developed mobile suits in the neutral colony of Heliopolis. Civilian coordinator Kira Yamato attends the Heliopolis technical school. After ZAFT hijacks 4 of the 5 mobile suits, Kira stumbles upon the last one, Strike, and is forced to pilot it to save her life and the lives of her friends. During this confusion, Kira also reunites with her childhood coordinator friend, Athrun Zala, who ironically turns out to be a ZAFT soldier and one of the Heliopolis kidnappers. Having control of Strike, Kira joins the Earth Alliance by boarding the ship known as the Archangel, to protect her friends while she despairs of becoming the enemy of her childhood friend and her town. .
