'''∀ Gundam''' (pronounced "Turn A Gundam") premiered in Japan in 1999 and is an [[Alternate Universe]] of the ''[[Gundam]]'' meta-series.<ref>Actually, it is {{spoiler|THE [[Distant Finale]] to the meta-series}}.</ref>. It's notable as the last Gundam work by creator [[Yoshiyuki Tomino]], his first outside the Universal Century timeline begun by [[Mobile Suit Gundam|the original series]], and arguably one of his best efforts. It also came after he finally [[Creator Breakdown|won his years-long battle with depression]], thus rather stunningly averting his [[Kill'Em All]] reputation. |

In the Correct Century, the people of Earth are living in a world roughly at the turn of the 19th century. What they do not know, however, is that they are not the first incarnation of mankind. Far in the past, there were humans living on the moon who, after a great catastrophe, were forced to go into cryo-stasis and await the time when it is safe to return to the Earth. In the meantime, they occasionally send scouts to the Earth to see if it has returned to a state where people can live on its surface once more. Among these scouts is a young boy named Loran Cehack. |

At the start of the series, the people of the moon (descriptively dubbed "The Moonrace") decide that they and their superior technology wish to return to the open air and full gravity of Earth. This understandably leads to some confrontation with the people already there. Loran, who had been living on Earth a few years ahead of time, has grown attached to the people there and after [[Falling Into the Cockpit]] of a mobile suit that has been buried in the earth for millennia, proceeds to defend the aristocratic families of of the Kingdom of Bostonia as tensions build between Earth and the Moonrace, and the threat of war spirals ever higher. |
