Background to 'One Year War':
The Colonies are now at war with each other, Earth has been placed under
Quarantine, barred from
Space indefinitely. Duo and Wufei are working for a section of
Earthgov called the Foundation,
together with Relena and Dorothy. Lady Une is still leading the
Preventers, but Sally Po has broken
away and joined an underground resistance movement, working with Zechs
and Trowa, with
Quatre’s assistance, to try to stop the Foundation. Central to
the storyline is the love triangle
between Heero, Duo and Quatre.
This series will conclude with a surprise revelation about Heero's past.
