機動戦士ガンダムエイト
Earth, the third planet of the solar system, was once humanity's cradle. Millennia have passed since the dawn of our species, and the relentless march of science, technology, and biology was supposed to free mankind from the chains of conflict and suffering, leading toward an era of endless prosperity. Yet that promise has shattered. In the year 2030 of the Eternal Calendar, the Earth—once a sanctuary—now teeters on the brink of total collapse, beyond human control. The world that gave birth to civilization has become its tomb.
Only 258 survivors remain in this desolate reality, clinging to existence amidst the ruins of a broken planet. Among them, a single Gundam stands as the last vestige of hope—or perhaps the final herald of destruction. With humanity's numbers so few and the Earth no longer able to sustain them, the survivors face an uncertain future, caught between the remnants of their past glory and the looming threat of extinction. As they struggle to endure, the presence of that one mobile suit may hold the key to their survival—or seal their fate forever.
