Late in the Universal Century, the Earth Federation attempts to launch a craft at faster-than-light speed. Zeon forces strike the launch facility in space and wreck it, though the craft gets away successfully before the facility falls. The special is a full CGI short film of roughly three minutes, made by Otomo for the Gundam Big Bang Sengen event marking the franchise's 20th anniversary, and it screened alongside The Impression of First Gundam. Fans of action and mecha science fiction get a brief, compact piece set in the Gundam universe.
