It has been six months since the end of the Divine Crusaders War and the L5 Campaign. Seeing a greater need to defend the Earth from future extraterrestrial invaders, the Earth Federation Army begins to mass-produce its line of Personal Troopers, as well as introducing new mechs to combat alien threats to humanity, after the Tokyo Manifest announcement.
