It is the year Universal Century 0079. Over 90 million humans populate the Earth, and many have been forced to live in space. People now live in large cylinder-like colony clusters called Sides, all ruled over by the "Earth Federation Space Force" (E.F.S.F.). Around this time, a group of colonies called Side 3, located near the dark side of the moon, proclaimed themselves independent from the Earth Federation and made themselves known as the "Principality of Zeon". 
 
Now the war has gone on for eight months and doesn't seem to be ending any time soon. Both factions are at a stalemate. As a last resort, the Federation attempts to produce a new, stronger force to fight against the Zeonic armies. They create the White Base and a powerful Mobile Suit called the "Gundam". However, these suits are piloted by youths...

As the War continues, Amuro and the White Base crew must make their way toward the Earth Federation Headquarters, Jaburo. On their way they will meet several new enemies and face off against impossible odds. They will fight in Operation Odessa to relieve the Earth from the clutches of the Zeon forces. 
Lives will be lost, new friendships will be made, and discoveries lie at every corner. Amuro soon learns that he possesses the power of the mysterious Newtypes.

Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 is retelling of the story remembered so well in Japan-of a war occurring on Earth's not-so-far-off future, when humanity's millions living in orbiting space colonies begin to push for their independence from the government of Earth, and new weapon called a "Mobile suit" becomes the deciding factor in battle....

Zeon ace pilot, Commander Char Aznable, thought he could foil the Federation's plan to build a mobile suit by attacking their research base on colony Side 7. He was wrong. With a prototype already active, the besieged Federation forces strike back using their new weapon, the mobile suit Gundam, with devastating consequences. Amidst the fighting, young electronics wizard Amuro Ray is determined not to let his friends and family die in the crossfire. But what can one boy do to repel a squad of mobile suit-clad invaders?

In 1979, before the end of the anime, Yoshiyuki Tomino himself created the first novelizations of the original Gundam anime series. The novels, issued as a series of three books, allowed him to depict his story in a more sophisticated, adult, and detailed fashion. Along with this adaptation came several major changes to the story. (Source: Wikipedia)

A Gundam Memorial from the point of view of Bright Noah, a man who has watched numerous Gundam pilots and Newtypes! What did Bright feel when he saw Amuro, Kamille, and Judau?

U. C. 0094: Kikka set out to write Amuro Ray’s —now hailed as a war hero by the federation government— biography with the goal of knowing who he truly was, by meeting the people who knew him.

For the Barrel (フォー・ザ・バレル) is an abstract novel adaptation of Yoshiyuki Tomino's Mobile Suit Gundam. It was serialized in the Japanese Newtype Magazine from August 2000 to June 2002. The series was put as part of the Gundam metaseries and took place in an alternate interpretation of the Universal Century timeline. However, it has no relation or resemblance to any previous Gundam works.

 Note: this work never received a tankoubon release.

The story takes place in unnamed timeline, where humanity has highly advanced technology. However, the human population is decreasing and it seems that they're on their way to extinction. 
The protagonists are Leos Alloy, Sthesia Awar and their Haro. They work on a Jupiter base called "Jupiter X", using "General Answer" (or "GA") which contains a massive repository of data about the alternate history of Humanity, Leos travels to the Earths' of the alternate timelines in an effort to collect data that might give them a hint for the evolution of mankind.
