The mystery of Laplace's Box is finally revealed, and the content of the Box turns out to be the original copy of the Universal Century charter. The last article in the original charter predicted the emergence of Newtypes and gave them the right to participate in the affairs of the new government. But radical right-wing elements within the Earth Federation disagreed with this article, and so the fateful "
terrorist attack" on the Laplace space station took place, resulting in not only the loss of lives, but also the loss of the original charter. The Laplace Incident would become the justification for the Federation to directly control the colonies, and a modified charter was made...with the last article deleted. Coupled with the rise of the Zeon movement, and the Universal Century hasn't been peaceful ever since.
But within Industrial 7--where it all began--Syam Vist has guarded the Box all this time.
Now, Banagher and the crew of the
Nahel Argama (as well as the
Garencieres defectors) must fight against Full Frontal and the Sleeves who want to claim the Box in order to use it as leverage against the Earth Federation, while Captain Bright Noa and the crew of the
Ra Cailum have to to deal with Martha Vist Carbine's plot to destroy the Box. (
Sei and Reiji will enjoy watching this...)
