The year is Post Disaster 323. More than 300 years after a great war between Earth and Outer colonies known as the "Calamity War", Mars has been successfully terraformed and colonized by humans. However, even with the technological advancements, the humans on Mars crave freedom against the government of Earth and seek to improve their livelihoods. Furthermore, while most of Mars' nations have received autonomy, the planet is virtually dependent on Earth for economic development with many living in impoverished conditions.
Kudelia Aina Bernstein, a Martian Noblewoman, employs the civilian security company Chryse Guard Security (CGS) to transport her to Earth to negotiate the independence of her nation, Chryse, from Earth. But the Earth Military organization, Gjallarhorn, attacks CGS in an attempt to halt the Martian independence movement. During the attack, Orga Itsuka, the leader of the Third Army Division within CGS, which is composed of children, decides to rebel against the adult higher-ups who had escaped and left the child and teen foot-soldiers to fight and die as disposable decoys. As all hope seems lost, a young orphan under Orga's command named Mikazuki Augus enters the battle, piloting a hastily repaired mobile suit: the legendary Gundam Barbatos. After repealing Gjallarhorn's attack, Orga and the rest of the Third Army Division dispose of the adult higher-ups who betrayed them and take control of CGS, refounding it as the mercenary company "Tekkadan".
In Tekkadan's first job, they accept to escort Kudelia to Earth for her to take part in the negotiations with the government of Arbrau, the superpower that rules over Chryse. However, Gjallarhorn's continuous attempts to stop theirs progress leads Tekkadan to join forces with Teiwaz, a business conglomerate that operates around Jupiter. Under Teiwaz's protection and assisted in secret by McGillis Fareed, one of the top echelons of Gjallarhorn with is own agenda, Tekkadan successfully takes Kudelia to Earth, and safely escorts her to Arbrau's capital where she successfully negotiates more economic freedom for Mars, while McGillis takes advantage of their success to overthrow his own adoptive father and bolster his position in the organization.
Some years later, Tekkadan establishes itself as a prominent military company, while Kudelia establishes a mining company in Chryse, working to improve the inhabitants' conditions and McGillis moves forward with his agenda to reform Gjallarhorn. However, one of Gjallarhorn's factions opposing him, the Arianhod Fleet starts working in the shadows to sabotage both McGillis and Tekkadan, leading both to join forces against them, with McGillis promising that once he manages to take full control of Gjallarhorn, he will transfer all authority over Mars to Tekkadan, making them the de facto rulers of the planet.
McGillis becomes the commander of the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet and allies with Tekkadan to defeat Rustal Elion's Arianrhod Fleet. Rustal sends a mercenary into Tekkadan's Earth Branch in order to cause internal conflicts, but is finally stopped when the Mars Branch arrives. Tekkadan then severs their ties with Teiwaz to work with McGillis, who plans a coup de'tat to take over Gjallarhorn. However, his fleets and Tekkadan are overpowered by Arianrhod in space and are forced to retreat to Mars. When Gjallarhorn surrounds Tekkadan's headquarters, Tekkadan plans their escape to Chryse while McGillis heads towards the Arianrhod fleet to face Rustal. However, he is stopped and killed by Gaelio while Orga is assassinated by Nobliss Gordon's men. Outnumbered but not outmatched, Mikazuki and Akihiro fend off against Gjallarhorn forces while their comrades safely escape to Chryse. After Mikazuki and Akihiro die in battle, the war becomes known as the "McGillis Fareed Incident". In the aftermath several years later, Gjallarhorn repeals its council system and starts a more democratic organization, with Rustal as its head. Kudelia becomes the chairwoman of the Mars Union while the surviving Tekkadan members start various jobs under new identities and Atra raises her son, Akatsuki, together with Kudelia on Mars.
