Victory Gundam is set in UC 0153, and succeeds the Federation and Crossbone Vanguard conflict of Gundam F-91.
The greatly weakened Earth Federation comes under attack by the forces of the spaceborn Zanscare Empire; only the AEUG-like League Militaire stands in their way. The mass-produced Victory Gundam is the League Militaire's secret weapon against the invading BESPA.
[edit] Production and development
Victory Gundam, the first of four Gundam television series that aired on TV Asahi in Japan sequentially from 1993 through 1996 and the second longest Gundam television show with 51 episodes (SD Gundam Force is the first with 52 episodes), also featuring the youngest protagonist in the Gundam franchise: the thirteen year old Uso Evin. It is another one of Yoshiyuki Tomino's "Kill 'em all" series. The main cast casualty rate of the League Militaire (especially the Shrike Team), as well as the Zanscare is extremely high.
