Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (機動戦士ガンダムUC(ユニコーン), Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn?) is a novel written by Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui and serialized in Kadokawa Shoten. There are 10 volumes in this series, and 6 OVAs have been released. In 2012 Harutoshi Fukui wrote an additional stand-alone novel (Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - The war after the war) which was to serve as a prequel to the Unicorn light novel series.

==Story Synopsis==
The series begins in U.C. 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, when a space colony called Laplace is destroyed during a ceremony hosted by the Federation's Prime Minister ushering in the Universal Century dating system. The main story takes place in UC 0096.

The story revolves around Banagher Links, a seemingly normal boy living and going to school in the space colonies. His life changes one day when he meets a girl named Audrey Burne, as the encounter brings him into contact with a new Gundam and its connections to an item called "Laplace's Box."

==Introduction==
::O this is the beast who does not exist.
::They didn't know that, and in any case
::--with its stance, its arched neck and easy grace,
::the light of its limpid gaze --they could not resist

::but loved it though, indeed, it was not. Yet since
::they always gave it room, the pure beast persisted.
::And in that loving space, clear and unfenced,
::reared it's head freely and hardly needed...

::to exist. They fed it not with grain nor chaff
::but fortified and nourished it solely with
::the notion that it might yet come to pass,

::so that, at length, it grew a single shaft
::upon it's brow and to a virgin came--
::and dwelled in her and in her silvered glass.
