Episode 1: Silent Orbit
Relena, now a deputy Foreign Minister for the ESUN, is abducted while on her way to colony X-18999. To her astonishment, the one responsible for her abduction is Mariemaia Khushrenada, Treize's daughter and the granddaugher of Dekim Barton, leader of the Barton foundation. However, it soon becomes clear that Mariemaia is being manipulated by her grandfather to complete his second scheme of total dominiation of that Earth sphere. The first scheme had taken place at the beginning of Operation Meteor, when Dekim's son, the real Trowa Barton, was supposed to have gone to Earth, help the other Gundam pilots in their mission and then wipe them out, while his father was taking control of the government. His first plan having failed, Dekim wants to try again, this time by using the name of Mariemaia's famous father. Heero and Duo, having learned of Relena's abduction, decide to investigate and send Quatre on a dangerous mission to recuperate the Gundams, while Trowa learns about Dekim's latest bid for power and decides to stop him. However, as he tries to kill Dekim, Trowa is stopped by Wufei, now a member of Mariemaia's forces!....

Meanwhile, Mariemaia declares war on the ESUN and departs for Earth with Relena. At the same time, a lone MS, piloted by Zechs Merquise, now a ESUN agent who goes by the name of Proventor Wind , approaches the asteroid MO-III, where Mariemaia's forces are preparing themselves for their impending assault on Earth and threatens to blow it to pieces. But Dekim Barton is wise to Zechs' tricks. He already has a full proof plan...if Zechs blows them up, then Dekim will drop an asteriod on the Earth. Accepting defeat, Zechs decides that he must find another way to stop Dekim Barton...time is running out....
