G-Saviour is a live-action Tokusatsu Made-for-TV Movie made as part of the Big Bang Project, celebrating Gundam's 20th anniversary, along with ∀ Gundam and a couple of video games such as Side Story 0079: Rise from the Ashes. A novelization, a PS2 game (which acts as a sequel), and an audio drama were released to tie-in with the movie's release in Japan.In Universal Century 223, the Earth Federation collapsed, leaving behind a vacuum of power in its demise. The Sides that were previously under Federation control became independent, calling themselves "Settlements". Two sides emerge for control over them: the Congress of Settlement Nations (CONSENT) which controls Sides 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 and The Illuminati which controls Sides 1 and 4.The movie is centered on Mark Curran (Brennan Elliott), a former CONSENT Mobile Suit pilot who finds himself fighting for the Illuminati when he was framed for the murder of a prison guard by his rival and former supreme commander, Jack Halle (John Lovgren) during a food crisis which has struck most of humanity. In addition, he must protect the only key to ending the crisis; a bioluminescent energy formula powerful enough to sustain plant life and create an agricultural breakthrough.The titular mobile suit, and pretty much anything related to the movie didn't appear, or was mentioned, in any other Gundam media until 2013.And in case you're wondering, this movie was made in Canada, not in the US.

Schizo Tech: Victory-era tech like beam shields co-exist with Mobile Suits that wouldn't look out of place in the One Year War. Supplemental materials explain this: much of mobile suit technology was lost in the wars during Earth Federation's decline, while MS development was hamstrung by bureaucratic red tape.

Curb-Stomp Battle
 G-Saviour / int_3d699462
comment
Curb-Stomp Battle: The Gaean Freedoms (not that one) are helpless against the CONSENT Bugus during the Final Battle, only winning the battle through Mark's and the Illuminati's help. Justified; the Gaean pilots are mostly conscripted civilians using incredibly outdated mobile suits, while CONSENT employs professional soldiers using (comparatively) state-of-the-art suits.

Loose Canon: Sunrise has said "we don't like to talk about G-Saviour" in the past, and they haven't mentioned it since. However, Gundam doesn't have a strict wall between "canon" and "non-canon," and it hasn't been explicitly contradicted by anything made since, either.

Meaningful Name: Side 8, also known as Gaea. The bioluminescence formula, created by Gaean scientists (namely Cynthia and Rigo) that can be used to sustain plant life and thus, solve the food crisis. As if the naming wasn't obvious enough, the colony even has its own greenhouse.

comment
Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy: None of the CONSENT guards can hit either Mark or Cynthia when they're escaping from the lab. They managed to duck from the line of fire, but it's not like they can't aim below them. This results with Cynthia using one of the formula vials to blind Jack and the guards, allowing them to escape via the morgue.

Putting on the Reich: CONSENT officers, including Jack and Garneaux, wear Nazi-esque, East German, Federation, and Zeon-ish uniforms throughout the movie. Some of their medals resemble French military 11th Parachute Brigade badges, too.
