Yue Yangchun and the Skywing Mercenary Group devastated the Evil Fang Pirate Group’s hideout, while Long Fei discovered he could use his Newtype-like mental abilities to control weapons. The one-eyed captain was captured after fleeing through a secret passage and awaited punishment with his surviving subordinates.

• Yue Yangchun piloted the Gundam GP03 Dendrobium through the Evil Fang Pirate Group’s forces, destroying mobile suits and spacecraft with missiles, its Mega Beam Cannon, and Beam Sabers.
• Long Fei activated the Strike Gundam’s Psycho-frame, sensed the battlefield around him, and used his mental power to control its wire-guided cannons and destroy attacking pirate mobile suits.
• The one-eyed captain decided to abandon the hideout and ordered his men to hold the enemy off while he escaped with his confidants through a secret passage.
• Skywing Mercenary Group soldiers ambushed the one-eyed captain and his confidants at their escape craft, and he suspected one of his men had betrayed him.
• The soldiers escorted the captured pirates to the plaza, where the one-eyed captain saw his defeated men, rescued civilians, and the Skywing Mercenary Group inventorying supplies before he was told to await punishment.

After defeating the Evil Fang Pirate Group, Long Fei discovered that Yue Yangchun might have Newtype abilities and met his old university classmate Shi Tingfen among the hostages. He offered Captain Fales a chance to reunite with his family in exchange for most of his money, then gave Fales’s subordinates the same choice or death.

• Yue Yangchun told Long Fei he had sensed a connection to him during battle, and Long Fei suggested he might have Newtype potential.
• Long Fei explained Newtypes to Yue Yangchun and Li Xiucheng, then was summoned to hear that the Evil Fang Pirate Group’s supplies had been inventoried.
• Long Fei recognized Shi Tingfen, an old university classmate among the hostages, and arranged for her to stay in the lounge.
• Long Fei told Captain Fales that he had destroyed the pirate group to fulfill an employee’s request and pointed out the subordinate who had betrayed Fales after his family was taken hostage.
• Long Fei offered to spare Fales and reunite him with his family if he transferred most of his money, and Fales agreed.
• Long Fei told Fales’s subordinates to transfer most of their money to his designated account or lose their lives.

After sparing the Evil Fang Pirate Group’s leaders in exchange for their wealth, Long Fei explained the mercenary group’s financial needs to Yue Yangchun and used some of the money to resume normal Gundam development. He then caught up with Shi Tingfen, who asked for help avoiding Luo Tianyou, and Long Fei offered her work at one of his companies.

• The rescued civilians protested that the Skywing Mercenary Group had let the Evil Fang Pirate Group’s leaders go, but the mercenaries said they could capture them again if someone paid for the job.
• Yue Yangchun challenged Long Fei for sparing the pirate leaders, and Long Fei explained that they had bought their lives with their wealth and gave Yue two bank cards for himself and his sister.
• Long Fei admitted that Fales’s money had restored Gundam development to its normal pace, while noting that producing Gundams consumed huge sums of money.
• Shi Tingfen joined Long Fei, praised his success, and told him that Zhao Xinlin had been searching for him.
• Shi Tingfen complained that Luo Tianyou’s possessiveness had driven her to travel, and Long Fei offered her a suitable job at another company when they returned to the main base.

Long Fei reviewed the Gundam production delays and arranged for the Skywing Mercenary Group to help fund the project. After hearing about a derelict spacecraft from Jupiter carrying unknown metals, he decided to investigate it personally.

• Shi Tingfen admired the asteroid base and its automated factory, then asked to stay and work there, and Long Fei assigned Sakchi to arrange it.
• Factory Director Simmons told Long Fei that Gundam production would be delayed by material shortages, and they agreed that combat would prove which stealth technology worked better.
• Long Fei discussed Gundam funding with Li Jiaming and agreed that the Skywing Mercenary Group would contribute so the arms company could keep producing other equipment.
• Li Jiaming reported that a fleet had found an old spacecraft from Jupiter whose crew had died after its engine failed, along with containers of unknown metals.
• Long Fei ordered Li Jiaming to arrange a personal investigation of the spacecraft despite the danger.

Long Fei investigated an old transport spacecraft that had crashed into an asteroid after its Nuclear Fusion Engine exploded, and learned that it had been carrying unusual metals and liquids from Jupiter. He found research on the resources, including a white ore that might substitute for material needed to manufacture a Solar Furnace, and wondered how the Jupiter Sphere had developed.

• Long Fei arrived at the asteroid and entered the old spacecraft in the Strike Gundam, where Captain Bailieba briefed him on the investigation.
• Captain Bailieba explained that the spacecraft’s systems and work-use MS were mostly broken, and that the crew’s bodies and recovered records had been placed in a usable room.
• Long Fei reviewed reports identifying the vessel as a transport ship whose Nuclear Fusion Engine had exploded, forcing its captain to separate the damaged engine to limit casualties from radiation.
• Long Fei read research materials about special metals and liquids collected from Jupiter’s moons and found that a white ore might substitute for material needed to manufacture a Solar Furnace.
• Long Fei concluded that Jupiter’s resources might enable stronger MS and warships, and wondered how the Jupiter Sphere had developed during its decades without contact.

Long Fei watched the archived footage and learned how the Jupiter spacecraft’s crew perished after its engine exploded. He discovered that the captain had placed the sisters Taoxiang and Lixiang in cryogenic pods and hurried to find them.

• Long Fei watched recordings of the crew’s life aboard the spacecraft and saw an engine explosion that ended one video in screams and darkness.
• Long Fei viewed footage showing the crew’s failed attempts to control the accident and their unanswered distress calls.
• Captain Bickley’s final recording explained that radiation, despair, and madness had killed most of the crew, and that he had shot the last two crew members who threatened Taoxiang.
• Captain Bickley revealed that he had placed Lixiang and Taoxiang in cryogenic pods in a hidden room, gave rescuers the password yzj00, and then shot himself.
• Long Fei stood up and went to investigate whether the sisters were still alive.

Long Fei discovered two sisters in cryogenic hibernation aboard the spacecraft and learned that Taoxiang was a Newtype. After arranging their careful revival, he returned to business matters and ordered legal action against Feichi Military Science Company for stealing technology.

• Long Fei and Captain Bailieba found a hidden chamber containing Taoxiang and Lixiang in operating cryogenic hibernation pods, and Bailieba explained how to revive them safely.
• Long Fei touched Taoxiang's pod and experienced some of her memories before realizing she was a Newtype, then sensed deep fear when he touched Lixiang's pod.
• Long Fei instructed Captain Bailieba to arrange the sisters' revival and returned to reading documents while they prepared.
• President Sakchi reported that King of Thrace wanted Specialized GMs and that spies had stolen several technologies, including drone software and retired ship blueprints.
• Long Fei learned that Feichi Military Science Company was among the forces seeking Gundam technology and ordered Sakchi to sue them wherever possible.

After the warming pods arrived, Bailieba began reviving Taoxiang and Lixiang, while Long Fei gave Li Jiaming blueprints for new mobile suits and tasked him with managing their production and upgrades. Long Fei arranged for Sakchi to prepare the Strike Dagger for sale and learned that war might break out within a few months.

• Bailieba thawed Taoxiang and Lixiang and placed each sister in a warming pod aboard an Escort Ship, leaving their recovery up to them.
• Long Fei gave Li Jiaming the GM II and Dagger-series designs, and Li Jiaming assessed their battlefield strengths and manufacturing costs.
• Long Fei authorized Li Jiaming to manage production and upgrades for the GM II, 105 Dagger, Duel Dagger, and Storm Dagger.
• Li Jiaming advised Long Fei that war might break out within a few months, so Long Fei asked Sakchi to consider turning acquired factories into Strike Dagger manufacturing plants.
• Sakchi requested time to build and test a Strike Dagger before converting the factories, and Long Fei checked the news and suspected powerful interests were stirring up trouble.

Long Fei prepared for possible wars by expanding weapons production and testing new Mobile Suits, while his research on Haojin enabled him to build a more powerful, safer Solar Furnace. He decided to manufacture a 0 Gundam to test the furnace in combat.

• Long Fei watched international conflicts and suspected that war could reach the Sixth District within months, so he resolved to prepare and study the Jupiter spacecraft materials.
• President Sakchi tested the easy-to-operate Strike Dagger Mobile Suit, and Shi Tingfen further simplified its operating system before the unit was promoted publicly.
• The Strike Gundam and Deathscythe Gundam entered testing, while the Aegis, Buster, Gatling Gunner, and Gemini Brothers were scheduled for production.
• Long Fei identified Haojin as a substitute material for Solar Furnaces and successfully built one that produced harmless cyan particles, offered improved energy output, and could avoid disrupting radar and communications.
• After finding that Haojin was scarce and Pseudo Solar Furnaces still produced harmful particles, Long Fei chose to build a 0 Gundam for Solar Furnace and combat testing.

Long Fei’s staff discussed the Solar Furnace’s remarkable power while he spoke with Shi Tingfen about her work and his plans to keep researching. At an arms exhibition, Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company displayed its Mobile Suits as countries weighed their performance and prices.

• Base employees marvelled that Long Fei’s Solar Furnace could power the entire base, and Shi Tingfen learned that testing had ended so the units could be used in Gundams.
• Long Fei told Shi Tingfen he planned to continue researching rather than return home, praised her improvements to his OS, and went back to his laboratory.
• Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company displayed the Specialized GM Mobile Suit and Strike Dagger at an arms exhibition, drawing attention from representatives of many nations.
• The Mika'ang Nation’s GM Mobile Suits had destroyed numerous enemy aircraft and Mobile Suits in combat, prompting countries in the Colony Sphere's Sixth District to buy GMs despite their high price and long delivery schedule.
• Buyers found the Specialized GM’s eighty-million price difficult to afford, while the Strike Dagger was offered for thirty million and was widely assumed to be less capable.

A public demonstration showed that the Strike Dagger was exceptionally easy to operate and highly responsive, prompting nations to place far more orders than Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company could fulfill. President Sakchi tried raising its price and refunding orders, but demand rose past 3,000 units, while other arms companies watched buyers flock to Skywing’s booth.

• Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company invited an inexperienced exhibition attendee to test the Strike Dagger, and he quickly learned to dodge attacks and hit targets.
• The company let representatives from purchasing delegations test the Strike Dagger, and they praised its ease of operation, responsiveness, enemy detection, and alertness.
• Nations placed orders for thousands of Strike Daggers and other military equipment, far exceeding President Sakchi’s expectations.
• President Sakchi ordered the company to refund Strike Dagger purchases and raised its price from 30 million to 35 million Space Colonial Currency per unit.
• The returned orders brought the Strike Dagger total above 3,000 units, and President Sakchi realized her company could not handle the orders at its current capacity.
• Representatives of other arms companies watched buyers crowd around Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company’s booth while their own booths sat nearly empty.

Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company’s Strike Dagger MS defeated rival machines in simulated battles, bringing its orders to four thousand units. President Sakchi began arranging contract manufacturing with competitors, but the dinner gathering took an unexpected turn when Long Huijuan of Feichi Military Science Company arrived.

• Rival companies challenged the Strike Dagger MS to simulated battles, but it won every test, even when the pilots exchanged machines.
• Buyers increased their orders, bringing the Strike Dagger total to four thousand units, and Sakchi ordered her vice president to find a site for a new factory and add production lines.
• Snopin of Festa Company offered to contract-manufacture some of Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company’s orders, and Sakchi agreed to negotiate.
• Several rival company presidents intercepted Sakchi and Snopin, then joined their dinner to seek contract-manufacturing work; Sakchi decided to share some orders to avoid their sabotage.
• Long Huijuan of Feichi Military Science Company arrived at the dinner and exchanged polite introductions with Sakchi, pretending not to know her.

Long Fei developed Medical Nanomachines and successfully used them to heal a severely injured pilot, then planned mass production and a patent application. With several Gundams nearing completion, Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming considered adding Hyaku Shiki and Mk-II to a production line.

• Skywing Arms Manufacturing Company distributed hardware subcontracting work among industry peers while keeping MS cockpits and software in-house, and Deathscythe Gundam and Strike Gundam successfully destroyed pirate hideouts.
• Long Fei named two newly researched metals Silver Rhenium and Pot Steel, planned to develop Barbatos and Astaroth, and began researching Medical Nanomachines.
• Long Fei rested for three days after explaining the Medical Nanomachines design to Li Xiucheng, then returned to his research.
• After nearly a month, Long Fei completed the first Medical Nanomachines Medical Pod, which healed an unconscious pilot's severe blast wounds and left no scars.
• Long Fei decided to manufacture Medical Nanomachines Medical Pods in large quantities and apply for a patent as Gemini Brothers reached fifty percent completion and 0 Gundam reached ninety percent.
• Commander-in-Chief Li Jiaming considered using a production line for Hyaku Shiki and Mk-II as mass-produced units and Captain Units for elite squads.

Long Fei discussed new mobile suit production and considered the political forces behind a widening war before learning that Taoxiang had awakened. Taoxiang recovered memories of her past, learned that she and Lixiang were Newtypes, and reunited with her sister, who had also awakened.

• Li Jiaming reported that the GM II and Dagger series production lines were complete, and Long Fei approved the Mk-II and Hyaku Shiki for elite units.
• Long Fei read reports of a war spreading across Zone 7 and suspected that the Wanluo Federation and Gas Empire were backing opposing sides.
• After learning Taoxiang had awakened, Long Fei visited her and explained how he had seen fragments of her memories through their Newtype resonance.
• Taoxiang remembered her name, her Jupiter Federation origins, and the crisis aboard her spaceship, then asked whether Lixiang was also a Newtype.
• Long Fei told Taoxiang that she and Lixiang had been asleep for decades, and she wept at the news.
• Lixiang awakened, and Taoxiang went to her infirmary, asked to care for her there, and requested the spaceship's records to recover her forgotten memories.

Taoxiang agreed to stay with Long Fei after learning her homeland had fallen, while the Strike Dagger MS helped Kexer Kingdom defeat Las Kingdom and intensified the war in District Seven. Long Fei’s fleet searched for pirates to test new Gundams, and its sensors detected a convoy near the District Six–District Seven border.

• Long Fei tested Lixiang’s psychic abilities, then learned Taoxiang wanted to return to her homeland and arranged for the sisters to stay and receive life-extension treatment.
• The Strike Dagger MS gained popularity across neighboring districts after military successes, and Kexer Kingdom used it to reverse its losses and destroy Las Kingdom.
• Long Fei prepared to test the 0 Gundam and Gundam Gemini during a pirate-search mission, while older Proto Gundams were mothballed and plans advanced for the Hyaku Shiki and Mk-II G.
• After a week without finding pirates, Long Fei’s fleet approached the District Six–District Seven border, where a long-range camera spotted a convoy.

Long Fei learned that the Oya Cross Nation had come to Aipake Nation to advocate peace as the war in the 7th District Colony drove millions of refugees from their homes. Saintess Aina’s mission met resistance, and her fleet came under attack by a large Pirate Group, which John suspected had been hired to target her.

• Long Fei discussed the Oya Cross Nation’s arrival and its effort to limit the war’s spread, noting that it had taken in more than three million refugees.
• Saintess Aina was disappointed when Aipake Nation’s leaders supported peace in words but defended their involvement in the war.
• Aina asked John whether nations could coexist peacefully, and he stayed silent rather than dash her hopes.
• A soldier reported that a Pirate Group five times larger than Aina’s fleet had attacked them, and Aina went to the bridge with John.
• Yuffie reported that the pirates had ignored warnings and that she had ordered the MS and fighter craft to attack.
• John suspected arms dealers had hired the attackers to kill or capture Aina because her peace advocacy threatened their profits.

Long Fei and his fleet joined the Oya Cross Nation’s battle against the Pirate Group to test the 0 Gundam and other mobile suits. After the Gundams turned the battle around, Long Fei concluded that the 0 Gundam test had succeeded and that they could develop more Solar Furnace Gundams.

• Sock mobilized the Pirate Group’s upgraded forces, which overwhelmed the Oya Cross Nation’s fleet despite its new MS and fighters.
• Yuffie sent Joseph, Bach, Kuhn, Juan, and Bella into battle, where Joseph, Kuhn, and Juan were shot down and Bella was left stranded under attack.
• Long Fei arrived in the 0 Gundam with the Zhou Ya Sisters in the Gemini Brothers and several other MS to test their machines against the pirates.
• The 0 Gundam rescued Bella and disrupted both sides’ radar, while the Gemini Brothers and other MS joined the fight.
• Long Fei shot down nearly thirty enemies in a minute, and the Zhou Ya Sisters destroyed fifty-two; Long Fei declared the 0 Gundam test successful and planned further Solar Furnace Gundams.

The Zhou Ya Sisters activated the PX System and turned the battle against the Pirate Group, while Soke ordered a second-phase assault on the Oya Cross Nation space fleet. As pirate forces boarded the flagship, Long Fei entered it to confront them, and a wounded crewman witnessed pirates dying from an unseen attacker.

• Long Fei ordered the Zhou Ya Sisters to activate the PX System, and they used its enhanced reactions and predictive abilities to destroy many enemy units before it shut down.
• Soke ordered airships to attack the Oya Cross Nation space fleet, while Long Fei destroyed several of them and refused a request to prioritize shooting them all down.
• Long Fei saw pirate airships breach the flagship's hangar, equipped his Sparta Battle Suit and weapons, and entered the ship.
• Saintess Aina left the command room under escort as pirates fought the flagship's defenders in its corridors.
• A wounded crewman watched an unseen attacker kill the pirates who had cornered him and concluded that the Holy Lord had intervened.
