The ranking non-commissioned officer of the Earth Alliance warship Archangel, and one of the few survivors of the ship&#039;s original crew. After the attack on Heliopolis, Neumann takes over as the ship&#039;s pilot. Quiet and professional, he&#039;s usually overshadowed by his charismatic superiors, but when the Archangel is locked down at the space fortress Artemis he takes charge and breaks the ship free.

C.E. 71: In the midst of war between the Naturals (OMNI) and Coordinators (ZAFT), a unit from ZAFT is dispatched to hijack the Earth Alliance's newly developed mobile suits on the neutral colony of Heliopolis. Orb Civilian Coordinator Kira Yamato attends the technical college on Heliopolis. After ZAFT hijacks 4 of the 5 mobile suits, Kira stumbles upon the last one, Strike, forced to pilot it to save his and his friend's lives. During this confusion, Kira also reunites with his childhood Coordinator friend, Athrun Zala, who ironically turns out to be a ZAFT soldier and one of the hijackers at Heliopolis. Having control of Strike, Kira joins the Earth Alliance boarding the ship known as Archangel, to protect his friends while despairing over becoming the enemy of his childhood friend and people.

A new Gundam SEED Movie announced as part of the project "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED PROJECT Ignited" in celebration of Gundam SEED's upcoming 20th anniversary in 2022.
 
It is now Cosmic Era (C.E.) 75, two years after the dismantlement of the Destiny Plan, but warfare still continues to rage on between Naturals and Coordinators.
Independence movements are now sprouting up across Earth, and invasions by Blue Cosmos grow exponentially stronger...
To deal with these predicaments, a World Peace Supervision Organization known as COMPASS has been established, with PLANT Chairwoman Lacus Clyne as the founding leader.
Kira Yamato and the others, as its new members, intervene into various battles for the sake of this peace.
However, as these battles take place, an emergent nation known as 'FOUNDATION' appears, and they propose a joint operation to attack the Blue Cosmos Headquarters.

Will Destiny run its course, or will Kira still have the Freedom to resist against impossible odds?

Three TV movies made from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed series. 
1. The Empty Battlefield (Kokuu no Senjou) 
2. The Far-Away Dawn (Harukanaru Akatsuki) 
3. The Rumbling Sky (Meidou no Sora) 

The year is CE 70. The tragedy of "Bloody Valentine" has escalated the war between the Naturals of the Earth Alliance and genetically-enhanced Coordinators of PLANT to new heights. ZAFT, PLANT's military, has a considerable advantage due to their mobile suits, which the mobile armors of the EA stand no chance against. Kira Yamato is a Coordinator living in Heliopolis, a neutral colony. However, during a surprise attack by ZAFT, Kira stumbles onto the EA's secret project, the powerful mobile suits which Kira calls Gundam. Now forced to fight against his own kinds to protect his Natural friends aboard the EA battleship Archangel, he must choose whether he should fight on, or leave the Archangel defenseless against the four other Gundam that ZAFT has stolen.

Four TV movies made from Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny series. 
1. The Broken World (Kudakareta Sekai) 
2. Respective Swords (Sorezore no Ken) 
3. The Hell Fire of Destiny (Sadame no Goka) 
4. The Cost of Freedom (Jiyuu no Daishou) 
Like the three specials of Gundam Seed, these specials feature new or changed scenes of the TV series. However unlike the TV series, which was told in the points of view of main characters Shinn Asuka and Kira Yamato, the Special Edition was told through the eyes of Athrun Zala, giving the movies a much more neutral point of view.
