Story by Alex "Blue Leader" Buirch
Based on "Mobile Suit Gundam" by Yoshiyuki Tomino


It is the year 0079 of the Universal Century. A half-century has passed since man began moving its burgeoning population into gigantic space colonies called "Sides" which orbit around the Earth.

Eleven months ago the cluster of colonies furthest from the Earth, called Side 3, proclaimed itself the Principality of Zeon and launched a war of independence against the Earth Federation. Now, nearly a year later, the war continues to rage on. Millions of lives has been sacrificed in the name of freedom, yet the war shows no sign of ending.

Now, off in Northern Africa, a dark soul creates a destructive weapon under the guise of bringing everlasting peace to the Earth Sphere. A special operations Zeon unit has been sent to find and capture the weapon-- or to destroy it outright-- but first they'll have to fight their way through the Earth Federation team that protects it, even if this Federation team really has no clue about what exactly they are defending.
What lies are being spread across the Earth Sphere? And who is behind them? Can the mystery be unraveled in time to save the lives of millions more?

Find out in "Mobile Suit Gundam: Defenders of Destiny"!

Finally, after taking way too long on it, the first episode of this radio play is finished! I must admit that I'm rather embarrassed for taking so long to get this done... But hopefully it didn't come out too badly and might have been worth the wait. Though this was my first ever radio play/radio drama I am kind of proud of how it turned out.

There is a bit of a problem with the volume fluctuating slightly with some of the voices. I did the best I could with them but some of them were recorded at a lower volume setting; though I did crank the volume up on them as much as I could without distorting them-- even applied a few filters trying to squeeze out whatever I could. Heh. This was my own fault, I should have had a rule that regulated the volume the lines should have been recorded in. Live and learn.
I also need to work on where to split the piece for hosting on YouTube. At the end of part 1 and part 2 it cuts off suddenly and than continues with the next part. I apologize for that, but it was rather difficult to calculate where exactly I should cut them...

This radio play can be listened to in one of two ways. Firstly, there's the standard MP3 which I've hosted at MediaFire. It was too big for Box.net so it will have to be downloaded-- sorry.
The second option is to "watch" the radio play on YouTube with the "YouTube exclusive version". This version, exclusive to YouTube as the title implies, features the same radio play as the standard MP3 but includes bonus features shown as video that contains character biographies, mobile suit data, locations, and other such things. (Note: there may be a few spelling errors I missed in the biographies.)

So without further ado...

Whoops... I noticed a few major errors with character biographies in part 3 on YouTube. I also noticed that I spelled "fixed weaponry" as "fiexed weaponry"... bah.
I think I uploaded the wrong version of part 3 as I know I had the correct biography information before exporting... But for the time being I added video annotations to correct the biography errors. I'll have to go back and find the correct version and see if I can re-upload the video to YouTube.

I enjoyed it.

Admittidly, mecha combat is a hard thing to get across in the audio format, but it was still enjoyable!

Where did you get all the Gundam SFX though?

Yeah, that is something I really struggled with. But I tried my best to get the idea across, and fiddled around with some speaker effects, too, trying to give an idea of depth. In some parts you'll hear gunshots from the left speaker or the right speaker, trying to simulate a 3D space, if you will.

As for the sound effects... Some are from Gundam that I've collected over the years (there are some in a file that was posted in the sound effects forum section here on the VAA, but I don't think all of the Gundam effects I have were in that file). But most of the mecha movement effects are actually sound effects from RF Online.
Though a few other machinery sound effects are actually from Star Wars.
