During the development process.

To counter the two Mobile Suits with the exceptionally high performance of [AEUG] machines, [Destroyer Dias] and [Perfect Gundam 3 Red Warrior].

The [Titans] also began developing high-performance machines aimed at achieving the ultimate in unit performance.

Before long, [RX-178-X0 Gundam Mk-II (Prototype Unit 0)] was placed on the development schedule.

However, Mobile Suits designed purely in pursuit of high performance also became extremely difficult to operate.

Their powerful acceleration reduced pilot safety to zero.

Thus, ordinary pilots simply could not operate this [Gundam Mk-II Prototype Unit 0].

In the end, the [Titans] enlisted the Murasame Research Institute and Augusta Research Institute, which specialized in Enhanced Humans.

From the Enhanced Humans of the Murasame research program, they selected [Murasame Zero] (Enhanced Human 0) as Unit 0's pilot.

With the combination of an Enhanced Human and a high-performance machine, the development of [Gundam Mk-II Prototype Unit 0] finally achieved a breakthrough and succeeded.

However, its cost was so exorbitant that the expense of building a single [Gundam Mk-II Prototype Unit 0] could have built several Pegasus-class assault landing ships.

Thus, after one unit was manufactured, no further mass production followed.

As a result, the downgraded version of Unit 0—the standard [RX-178 Gundam Mk-II]—was placed on the development schedule.

At the same time.

The young [Murasame Phoenix], disguised as a boy under the alias "Kyo," got into a brawl with a delinquent group, was arrested by Earth Federation Army patrols, and was sent to a so-called "Rehabilitation Institute."

Although she behaved very obediently in the "Rehabilitation Institute," she continued to cautiously observe her surroundings in secret.

Yet despite her caution, the Murasame Research Institute discovered her ability to make accurate predictions.

Under the instructions of the Rehabilitation Institute staff, she had no choice but to undergo all kinds
