Operation Fallen Angels

Operation Fallen Angels (オペレーション・フォールン・エンジェルス, Operēshon Fōrun Enjerusu) was Celestial Being’s return to active operations in Mobile Suit Gundam 00 Second Season, marking their re-emergence after their disappearance following Season 1. The operation demonstrated that Celestial Being had survived their apparent defeat and had been rebuilding their forces, preparing to resume their mission of armed intervention to end war.

Background

Following the events of Season 1, Celestial Being had been believed destroyed or disbanded after their confrontation with the Earth Sphere Federation and the three major powers. The organisation had disappeared from public view, with their mobile suits and the Ptolemaios believed lost.

However, Celestial Being had actually survived and had been operating in secret, rebuilding their forces and preparing for their return. The organisation had maintained their commitment to their mission of armed intervention, recognising that the world situation had deteriorated with the formation of A-LAWS and the continued presence of conflict.

By AD 2312, the world had changed significantly. The Earth Sphere Federation had been established, but the formation of A-LAWS as a special forces unit had created new problems. A-LAWS operated with impunity, suppressing resistance and dissent, creating a situation that Celestial Being could not ignore.

Prelude

Prior to Operation Fallen Angels, Celestial Being had been monitoring world events and preparing for their return. The organisation had rebuilt their mobile suits, including the new Gundam units: the GN-0000 00 Gundam, GN-006 Cherudim Gundam, GN-007 Arios Gundam, and GN-008 Seravee Gundam.

The Ptolemaios had also been rebuilt and upgraded, ready to support Celestial Being’s operations. The crew, including Sumeragi Lee Noriega as captain, had been preparing for the organisation’s return to active duty.

The Gundam Meisters—Setsuna F. Seiei, Lockon Stratos, Allelujah Haptism, and Tieria Erde—had been training and preparing for their return to combat, ready to resume their mission of armed intervention.

Course of the operation

Initial engagement

Operation Fallen Angels began when Celestial Being forces, led by the Ptolemaios, emerged from hiding and engaged A-LAWS forces. The operation demonstrated that Celestial Being had not been destroyed and was ready to resume their mission.

The Gundam Meisters deployed in their new mobile suits, engaging A-LAWS mobile suits and demonstrating the superior capabilities of Celestial Being’s GN technology. The operation served as both a declaration of Celestial Being’s return and a demonstration of their continued commitment to their mission.

A-LAWS response

A-LAWS forces responded to Celestial Being’s return with shock and determination. The organisation had believed Celestial Being to be eliminated, and their sudden re-emergence represented a significant threat to A-LAWS’ operations and authority.

A-LAWS mobilised their forces to engage Celestial Being, utilising their advanced mobile suits and superior numbers. However, Celestial Being’s GN technology and the skill of the Gundam Meisters proved effective against A-LAWS forces.

Public reaction

The public reaction to Celestial Being’s return was mixed. Some saw it as a sign of hope, whilst others viewed it with fear and uncertainty. The organisation’s return raised questions about the future of the Earth Sphere Federation and the role of armed intervention in maintaining peace.

Operation Fallen Angels demonstrated that Celestial Being remained committed to their mission, regardless of the changes in the world situation. The operation marked the beginning of a new phase in Celestial Being’s operations, as they confronted A-LAWS and the challenges of the new world order.

Aftermath

Operation Fallen Angels marked Celestial Being’s official return to active operations, establishing that the organisation had survived and was ready to resume their mission. The operation demonstrated that armed intervention remained necessary, as the world situation had not improved despite the formation of the Earth Sphere Federation.

The operation set the stage for Celestial Being’s ongoing conflict with A-LAWS and their eventual confrontation with the Innovators. The organisation’s return would prove crucial in the events that followed, as they worked to expose A-LAWS’ true nature and prevent the Innovators’ plot.

Operation Fallen Angels also revealed that Celestial Being had been preparing for their return, rebuilding their forces and upgrading their technology. The operation demonstrated the organisation’s resilience and commitment to their mission, regardless of the challenges they faced.
