\u201cThe tensions mounted between the Earth Alliance and the ZAFT Forces caused by the \u2018Bloody Valentine\u2019 tragedy have erupted into an all-out war.\u201d The Earth Alliance\u2019s mobile armor forces and tanks launch\u2026mobile suits are destroyed one after another\u2026<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt seemed a foregone conclusion that the Earth Alliance, with its superior numbers, would be victorious. But this initial assessment proved to be false. Almost 11 months have passed since the conflict began, with no end in sight\u2026\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
