Set during the same timeframe as Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ, after the fall of the Titans the Earth Federation sends an expeditionary force called Task Force Alpha, to deal with a group of elite Federation officers who have formed their own Earth-supremacist faction, the New Desides.

Gundam Sentinel took on a much more realistic, technical style of thinking and look at the Gundam universe, where mobile suits were seen more as fighter jets or military weapons, rather than as cartoonish robots. They were larger, their weapons more powerful than their predecessors', the characters were older and the plot was on a smaller scale than what is usually found in other Gundam. It also marked the debut of Hajime Katoki, who would become one of the franchise's most prolific mechanical designers. Gundam Sentinel is perhaps the best-known Gundam side-story ever written, and is said to be for the most mature of Gundam fans.
