Heliopolis, is a neutral space colony and research facility that holds
top-secret weapons,
Gundams, for the Earth Alliance, ZAFT. ZAFT,
which is composed of Coordinators (genetically modified/upgraded
humans), attacks Heliopolis, stealing 4 out of the Alliance's 5
Gundams. In the battlefield, civilian Kira Yamato stumbles upon the
Strike, the last remaining Gundam of the alliance, and is forced to
pilot it (he doesn't want to). In the midst of battle he encounters his
best friend, Athrun
Zala, as one of the hijackers of the 5 Gundams, who sides with ZAFT.
Being a Coordinator, he is the only one who can pilot the Gundam. But
Kira is not with ZAFT, even though the people there are his own kind and very close with him.
Since the Alliance is the only place he could turn to at the
time, he sides with them. He pilots the Gundam to protect his friends,
and to fight his best friend Athrun. It's a war between people's
individual beliefs and relationships.
