Takashi Ohmama previously worked in the Gundam series, serving as composer for the 2017 ONA(original net animation) Mobile Suit Gundam: Twilight AXIS, delivering another masterful music score. Twilight AXIS was adapted from the 2016 novel of the same name by Ark Performance, inspiring an anime film compilation titled Mobile Suit Gundam: Twilight AXIS Red Trace, along with a manga adaptation later in 2017. The short anime project was helmed by Sejoon Kim, wearing the many hats of director, writer, animation director, character designer and mechanical designer.

The story is set in U.C. 0096, several months after the Laplace Incident in Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn. Two former Zeon members, now civilians, are approached by the Earth Federation Forces to join a research group investigating the drifting Neo Zeon colony Axis: Arlette Almage and Danton Hyleg. Having infiltrated Axis, the investigation team come under fire inside the supposedly abandoned base. As they confront this mysterious group of mobile suits, Arlette and Danton also confront their Zeon pasts.
