Crossbone takes place ten years after Mobile Suit Gundam F91, and multiple characters from that movie return as main characters within the manga. The manga has never been officially distributed outside of Japan.
Universal Century (UC) 0133. Ten years after the events of the Cosmo Babylon Wars depicted in F91, 13 year-old protagonist Tobia Arronax/Tobias Allonax is a transfer student from Earth heading to the very affluent Jupiter Empire colonies aboard the Smashion Jovian transport ship. When space pirates of the Crossbone Vanguard attacks the Smashion with their ship, the Mother Vanguard, Tobia willingly sorties out in a Jovian Batara mobile suit holding them off as if he were a natural pilot. Unfortunately, he is captured by Crossbone Vanguard ace pilot Seabrook Arno, who has changed his name to, fittingly enough, Kinkado Now-(note: a Kinkado is a small rare bird)Kincaid Nau and brought before their leader Berah Ronah, who offers him a choice: either head straight to Jupiter and forget what has happened or join them to discover the truth. Tobia hesitantly joins with the pirates, but little does he know the Vanguard's agenda is one of resistance than of piracy.
In reality, the Jovians have been secretly building up their military for years, forming the Jupiter Empire, with the goal of Earth Sphere domination. Their ruthless leader Crux Dogatie maintains a façade of partnership with the Earth Federation, so as to avoid suspicion by the Federal government. Learning the truth, Tobia allies with the Crossbone Vanguard, and under Kincaid's tutelage, becomes one of their most prominent pilots, while using the XM-X2 Crossbone Gundam X-3, while slowly developing his Newtype abilities.
