The CATHAY website describes the plot as:
In C.E.75, the fighting still continues. There are independence movements, and aggression by Blue Cosmos… In order to calm the situation, a global peace monitoring agency called COMPASS is established, with Lacus as its first president. As members of COMPASS, Kira and his comrades intervene into various regional battles. Then a newly established nation called Foundation proposes a joint operation against a Blue Cosmos stronghold.
A sequel film to 2002-2003’s Mobile Suit Gundam Seed and 2004-2005’s Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Destiny was first announced in 2006. Seed Freedom’s co-scriptwriter Chiaki Morosawa, who did the series composition for Seed and Seed Destiny, passed away from aortic dissection in 2016. An update revealing that the movie was in production arrived in 2021.
