In the 24th century, the fossil fuels was replaced by solar energy produced by three big orbital elevators. The world was divided into three big factions: UNION centered by North America, Human Reform League centered by China and Advanced European Union (AEU) centered by Europe. Despite that the world was evolved into a new era, in Middle East, there are still poor countries exhausted by the backward of fossil energy. This is where riots appear frequently causing the last energy war.

In the year 2307 AD, a unknown mobile suit suddenly appears at an AEU's military exercise and defeats the lastest Enact model. The mobile suit is later revealed to be a Gundam owned by Celestial Being, a mysterious organization from space. After the event of AEU's military exercise, a video footage is sent to the world's media, it features a declaration from Aeolia Schenberg, a genius scientist died 200 years ago. Schenberg announces that Celestial Being is a private military organization dedicated to eradicating wars and uniting humanity through the armed interventions of the Gundams.

Ruled by the Innovators in the shadow, A-LAWS regularly issues merciless massacres to anti-government organizations which often dragged innocent people into. Because of information covering, the public are not known about their actions and people are placed into a false peace.

The story begins with an A-LAWS attack to Colony Proud, it drags the workers at the colony into the conflict between A-LAWS and Katharon, an anti-government organization. Setsuna F Seiei pilots the damaged Gundam Exia to the colony in order to stop the massacre. In a battle with Ahead mobile suits, Exia was destroyed and Setsuna is rescued by Tieria who is piloting the Seravee Gundam. The two bring Saji Crossroad, a space engineer rescued by Setsuna in Colony Proud to the rebuilt Ptolemaios. They decide to gather Celesting Being's members again to destroy A-LAWS.
