Description:
Years before the White Base landed on Earth,​ the seeds of war were planted in a space colony called Side-3.​ Here the Munzo Empire's great philosopher Chairman Zeon Deikun would prepare a declaration before an assembly of senators,​ but before finishing his speech would fall victim to a sudden attack on the parliament's dais.​

Almost instantly,​ on the streets,​ the masses have risen calling for independence and have set protests in front of Earth Federation headquarters on Side-3.​ The calls for Earthnoids to return to their planet eventually would push the Federation to take up arms hoping to combat these riots.​ The hostilities pit men versus tanks on the streets of this colony and appear to not be letting up.​

Meanwhile,​ Deikun's family,​ including his children Artesia and Casval,​ are soon taken into hiding by a Zeon loyalist - Ramba Ral.​

Story and art by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko.​
