The official summary of Mobile Suit GTA SEED FREEDOM is as follows: CE (Space Age). An era in which there are humans known as Coordinators, born with superior physical and mental abilities through genetic modification, and humans known as Naturals who are born naturally. With their respective existences, the ideological conflict between the Coordinators and the Naturals escalated into war using force. Along the way, the Destiny Plan was proposed, which would force each individual to assign roles and create a world without competition. But in the midst of the war, this Fate Plan was rejected in order to protect humanity's future aspirations and freedom.
