STORY

U.C. 0096―
The unofficial mercenary organization Argent Keil, which is neither part of the Federation nor Zeon, had taken on the mission to assassinate Federation official Azami Meginne. Although it was a request from the Federation, who couldn’t publicly disclose Azami’s collusion with Zeon, it was none other than the Federation’s Jegan team that attacked their fleet just before their sortie. Amidst this increasingly chaotic situation, the silver Gundam secretly owned by Argent Keil is unleashed into space.

Protagonist. A pilot belonging to the mercenary organization Argent Keil. Once a soldier of the Federation, they were rescued by Babia after being stranded in combat and decided to join as a fellow mercenary. They do not possess outstanding abilities as a pilot and feel pressured by being given a special MS, a Gundam.

DZ-001 Delta Zayin. A modified version of the Delta Plus provided to Argent Keil by Anaheim Electronics. Due to the clandestine nature of the agreement, non-standard parts are used for the exterior. The head is borrowed from a prototype of a separate project, the armor design is based on data from a phantom unit that was frozen at the design stage, and a custom shield has been newly prepared. It is painted silver, symbolizing Argent Keil.
