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....

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)

1) Saisho no Maki 
2) Tsuki no Maki 
3) Mittsume no Maki 
4) Yottsume no Maki 
5) Itsutsume no Maki 
Starting from the 5th volume, Gundam Sousei, which has 24 chapters, is included in the tankobon.

On Green Noa 1, Kamille Bidan is rushing to the spaceport where the Temptation, a ship a former One Year War ace is on, is docking. He’s hoping to get an autograph from the famed Captain Bright Noa. As Bright explains that he’s on duty, Jerid and company interrupt the two. Jerid smacktalks Bright for receiving a two rank demotion upon refusing to join the Titans and grabs Kamille’s photo saying he should sign it as an elite member of the Federation. The two get into a scuffle and Kamille is hauled off for questioning. Matosh questions Kamille about being an AEUG insider but just then he’s freed after his story checks out. Just as the handcuffs come off, the Gundam MK-II crashes into the building…
