Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch From Mercury Doujinshi and Comics
In the distant future, humanity has advanced into space and switched to the new calendar system of Ad Stella (AS). The solar system was split between the inhabitants of space colonies, also called "Spacians" and the Earth-born "Earthians", with a vast economic inequality between the two.
Vanadis Institute created an advanced man-machine system called GUND, which would enable humans to survive in the harsh environment of space, but the technology is later employed for military uses, leading to the creation of "Gundams", mobile suits who use the GUND Format to increase the performance of its pilots while risking their lives. Because of this defect, many pilots were crippled or killed using the GUND Format, and because the team responsible for its development was mostly composed of women, all females somehow involved with the GUND Format, whether researchers or pilots, became known as "witches".
In response, the Mobile Suit Development Council, led by the top mobile suit development companies, ordered a permanent ban on the GUND Format and all its applications, with council member Delling Rembran deploying the special forces team Dominicus to destroy the Vanadis research facility Fólkvangr, killing everyone aboard to erase all traces of the technology. Only two people narrowly survived: mobile suit test pilot Elnora Samaya and her four-year-old daughter Ericht Samaya.
In AS 122, 21 years after the Vanadis incident, Suletta Mercury transfers from Mercury to the Asticassia School of Technology, an academic institute run by the megacorporation Benerit Group. Upon arrival, she encounters a girl escaping the institute, Miorine Rembran, who wants to escape from the control of her father, Delling. As their paths cross in the academy with different ambitions and goals, Suletta will have to prove her worth as a pilot as she steps into the academy alongside the Gundam Aerial, a mobile suit built with the forbidden GUND Format technology.
