On October 13, U.C. 0081, in response to the persistent rebellious activities of the remnants of Zeon, and to prevent the recurrence of turmoil, the Federation Parliament passed the Federal Army Reconstruction Plan. On the 20th, as part of this reconstruction plan, under the supervision of Vice Admiral Joe Cowen, Anaheim Electronics, then the largest military-industrial enterprise, began the development of advanced technology mobile suits with the "Gundam Development Program." This unit is a superweapon developed by Anaheim Electronics based on the characteristics of the old Zeon forces' Mobile Armors (MA), which featured powerful firepower and high mobility, while also possessing the versatility of a Mobile Suit (MS). It is also the third machine in the "Gundam Development Program," primarily intended for space base defense.
