October 10th
In Universal Century 0105, twelve years after the Second Neo-Zeon War, the Earth Federation remains deeply corrupt, and environmental degradation continues unchecked. A terrorist organization named Mafty emerges, targeting privileged officials through acts of political violence. Its leader, Mafty Navue Erin, is revealed to be Hathaway Noa—son of Federation officer Bright Noa—who pilots the prototype RX-105 Ξ Gundam in his campaign against systemic corruption.
The Federation responds by forming the “Circe Unit,” commanded by Colonel Kenneth Sleg, with Lane Aim piloting the RX-104FF Penelope to stop Mafty’s insurgency.
During Mafty’s hijacking of Haunzen Flight 356, Hathaway encounters Gigi Andalucia, who quickly discerns his identity despite his alias—an encounter that deeply affects his path.
