In Universal Century 0083, three years after the One‑Year War, a rogue Zeon group called the Delaz Fleet, loyal to the ideals of former dictator Gihren Zabi, shatters the fragile peace on Earth and the colonies. Their ace pilot, Anavel Gato, once known as “The Nightmare of Solomon,” infiltrates the Federation’s Torrington base in Australia and absconds with the nuclear‑armed Gundam GP02A “Physalis.” Rookie pilot Kou Uraki, assisted by Anaheim Electronics engineer Nina Purpleton and the crew of the carrier *Albion*, takes command of the prototype Gundam GP01 “Zephyranthes” in an effort to recover the stolen unit and prevent a new war from erupting.
