The central conflict of GUNDAM ROGUE ORBIT pits humanity against a powerful unknown threat. The nature and origin of this enemy are core mysteries of the game's story.

The Conflict
Humanity must fight for survival against this threat, and RE-X and the crew stand on the front line. The enemy appears as waves of foes and as massive, sometimes colossal, opponents.
Forms of the Enemy
The announcement trailer reveals little about the threat's origins, but it shows the scale of the danger. Its cinematic centerpiece is a clash between Gundam Helix and a massive, dragon-like mechanical entity. Gameplay glimpses show a variety of monstrous foes, some comparable in size to the mobile suit and others far larger. The developers have noted that the enemies are deliberately not built like the humanoid mobile suits associated with Gundam. Instead they take beast-like forms, with multiple limbs and animalistic features evoking creatures such as dragons and scorpions, chosen first and foremost to be enjoyable to fight in an action game.
Encounters
In Combat, players confront enemy hordes and large-scale bosses while piloting Gundam Helix. Official materials have kept the specifics of the threat under wraps, with more details promised ahead of launch.
