Introduction to Gundam Seed Freedom Movie

In the Cosmic Era, humanity is divided into two: the Coordinators, human beings born with superior physical and mental abilities through genetic modification, and the Naturals, born naturally. This dichotomy led to a deep ideological clash between these two races, escalating into a brutal war that claimed hundreds of thousands of lives. (Gundam Seed)

At the heart of this conflict, a controversial project called the Destiny Plan emerges, aimed at forcibly assigning a role to each individual to create a world free of competition. However, in the midst of the fighting, this plan was rejected in order to protect humanity's aspirations and future freedom. (Gundam Seed Destiny)

The war, after many sacrifices, came to an end. However, the antagonism and hatred between Coordinators and Naturals continues to simmer...

In C.E.75, the fight still persists.

Independence movements and attacks orchestrated by Blue Cosmos are shaking the fragile peace. To calm the situation, a global peace monitoring agency named COMPASS was created, with Lacus Clyne as its first president. As members of COMPASS, Kira Yamato and her comrades intervened in various regional conflicts. It is then that a newly established nation, the Foundation, proposes a joint operation against a Blue Cosmos stronghold.
