Kidou Senshi Crossbone Gundam (1994)

The year is Universal Century 0133. Ten years have past since the armed resistance of the aristocratic fraction, the Crossbone Vanguard, was subdued. Tobia Aronnax is an exchange student onboard the spaceship Smashion to Jupiter, but during a surprise attack by a group of space pirates who call themselves the Crossbone Vanguard, he finds out that there were actually hidden agendas among those in the Smashion and on Jupiter itself. After being saved by a member of the pirates named Kincaid Nau, he is taken aboard the pirate ship, the Mother Vanguard, and is convinced by its captain, Berah Ronah, to join them. The pirate group’s true identity is revealed to be a guerrilla group resisting the secret fraction within Jupiter, the Jupiter Empire, which intends to conquer Earth. Now Tobia must pilot one of the three powerful Crossbone Gundams to help this new Crossbone Vanguard in their quest to oppose the Jupiter Empire’s plans.
