Turn A Gundam Synopsis


For two millennia, an entirely distinct human race has thrived on the moon, known as "the Moonrace." Their technological advancements far surpass those of their terrestrial counterparts who remained on Earth's surface.

Now, with a longing to return to their ancestral home, the Moonrace dispatches three teenagers – Loran, Keith, and Fran – on a reconnaissance mission to assess the suitability of Earth's environment. After a year on Earth, Loran forms strong bonds with Sochie and Kihel, the daughters of the esteemed Heim family. He eagerly anticipates becoming an integral part of Earth society. However, before Loran can submit his findings, the Moonrace launches a surprise assault.

Earth's rudimentary aircraft prove hopelessly outmatched by the Moonrace's formidable mobile suits. Yet, amid the chaos of the initial attack, Loran and Sochie stumble upon an ancient relic: a pristine white mobile suit. As a member of the Moonrace, Loran quickly grasps the rudiments of piloting it, unwittingly thrusting himself into the heart of a conflict. Caught between two worlds and their clashes, Loran's destiny takes an unexpected turn.
