Mobile Suit: GM
Attributes: p8640
Attack, Defense, Mobility, Movement: 5
Adaptability: Space, Ground, Underwater
Equipped Weapons: Beam Saber, Vulcan Cannon, Low-Output Beam Spray Gun
Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam.
The GM is the Federation’s general-purpose mass-production mobile suit, the RGM-79, which served as the mainstay during the One Year War. Developed based on data from the RX-78 Gundam, it is a simplified mass-production type. Although its only flaw is being able to use only a low-output beam rifle, its overall data is slightly superior to that of the Zaku II.
Since they entered as a team, the other eight members’ suits were all GMs, ranked a level below the Gundam.

Now, as for the “Zeon Revenge Corps”:
Mobile Suit: High-Mobility Experimental Zaku (Space Type)
Attributes: p8740
Attack, Defense, Mobility, Movement: 5
Adaptability: Space A
Equipped Weapons: Heat Hawk, Zaku Machine Gun
Origin: The 08th MS Team.
The Zeon Principality’s experimental mobile suit, the MS-06RD-4 High-Mobility Experimental Zaku for space use, was developed from the upper body of the Zaku II and the legs of the Dom. Its leg hover system was replaced with space-use thrusters, greatly improving its mobility. This machine also provided crucial test data for the Rick Dom, and can be considered its predecessor.
Similarly, the six regular members of the Revenge Corps team were all assigned this suit. Judging by their previous team composition, the leader would certainly have been given a Rick Dom.

But things did not go as expected—
Mobile Suit: Rick Dias
Attributes: p11850
Attack, Defense, Mobility, Movement: 6

Adaptability: Space, Ground, Underwater
Equipped Weapons: Beam Saber, Phalanx Vulcan Cannon, Beam Pistol, Scatter Rocket Launcher
Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam.
The AEUG’s mass-produced assault mobile suit, RS-099 Rick Dias (Black). Though it bears the signature Zeon design with its mono-eye and Zaku-like features, its internal frame is based on a Federation mobile suit, and its armor uses the lightweight, high-strength “Gundarium Gamma” alloy—quite different from previous Zeon units.
The leader of the Zeon Revenge Corps, Blind Duck, would weep over his assigned suit every day, regretting the flashy name he gave himself. Why couldn’t the main system understand the atmosphere and give him a red, Char-custom Rick Dom? Standing his suit beside his teammates’ machines, it felt as out of place as a Blastoise stuffed among a group of Goombas—utterly jarring.
Though his teammates didn’t care, Blind Duck simply couldn’t get over it.
The woes of perfectionism—none could understand…

Finally, the eleven-member team “Heroes”:
Mobile Suit: Psycho Gundam (Form A)
Attributes: p27500
Attack, Defense, Mobility, Movement: 6
Adaptability: Space, Air A
Equipped Weapons: Diffusion Mega Particle Cannon
Special Skill: I-Field Transformation (can shift to S Form)
Origin: Mobile Suit Gundam.
The Federation’s NT-specialized prototype transformable mobile armor, RX-009 Psycho Gundam (A Form), was developed by the Murasame Institute as the Federation’s first true NT-use machine. Though designed for Newtypes, it lacks remote-controlled “psycommu” weaponry like funnels, instead using the psycommu system for fire control and suit operation. This machine is equipped with Minovsky craft field generators and several mega particle cannons, making it a colossal, fully-equipped fortress weighing over 200 tons—larger than some small warships.
This terrifying mobile fortress belongs exclusively to the Heroes’ leader, Phoenix Seeker, a strong, artistic woman.
In fact, this monstrosity was created when Phoenix Seeker sacrificed her and her teammates’ eleven ordinary suits, paid a certain price to borrow from the departed Captain October through the altar of equivalent exchange, and used a rare item called the “Six Gods Combination” scroll, resulting in this overwhelming juggernaut.
After obtaining this suit, the first thing Phoenix Seeker did was spray-paint the name of the ancient guqin piece “Phoenix Seeking Its Mate” on its massive shield, explaining that it was her logo…
The motley crew of members from all over stared at each other, baffled; those not from China couldn’t understand, and even among modern Chinese, few could decipher it.
With the captain commandeering her own suit, the remaining members could only pitifully squat aboard the ZAFT warship or pilot cheap, second-hand Balls.

These twenty-seven individuals boasted the greatest combat strength under the “Heroes” banner. With their I-field’s immunity to beam weaponry and their enormous frames designed for area suppression, the other two teams were simply outmatched.
The position of temporary united team leader was, without question, theirs.
Upon witnessing such a display of power, ZAFT’s higher-ups opened the backdoor, dispatching three additional Nazca-class high-speed battleships—the same model as the Crusaders’ Vissalis.
Three Nazca-class high-speed battleships, one NT-specialized giant mobile armor, sixteen mobile suits (if Balls can even be called suits), combined with the Crusaders’ original lineup, turned the battle against the Archangel into a one-sided affair in an instant.
With Hao Ren’s disappearance, the team’s fighting force was reduced to Mu’s Duel, Sharp’s Unicorn, Kira’s Strike, and the reluctantly drafted Tolle piloting Mu’s discarded Mobius Zero.
Given the circumstances, the Archangel should have long since become a fallen angel; the disparity in power was simply overwhelming.
Yet, from the moment of Blitz and Buster’s surprise attack, the battle had dragged on for nearly ten minutes.
How had they held out so long?

“Damn it! Why can the Archangel self-repair? Has it been equipped with DG Cells?” The High-Mobility Experimental Zakus bombarded the Archangel with everything they had, but their physical rounds only left tiny scratches on its long-legged armor plates. Within half a minute, even those marks would vanish completely.
Item: DG Cells. Allows a suit equipped with this item to recover 5% of its p-value per minute.
Such a high-level item shouldn’t be available to players at this stage, but this terrifying regeneration could only be explained by the presence of DG Cells.
With their ammunition quickly depleted, the Revenge Corps could only draw their heat hawks and engage in close combat.
But the now jet-black Duel blocked their way with overwhelming might, holding off six opponents at once without yielding an inch.
The six dared not be careless—aware of both the gap in their machines’ performance and their pilots’ skills, they knew a head-on clash meant certain death. All they could do was keep alternating attacks from a distance on the Archangel, trying to keep the Duel occupied.
Mu was sweating profusely. He had no idea what tricks Hao Ren had pulled to let Kira unleash strange abilities and boost the survivability of their machines and the Archangel, but the despairing absence of firepower was still far from reassuring.
“You brat, if you don’t show up soon, our Archangel really will have its wings clipped…” Having just shot down a flying heat hawk, Mu couldn’t help but glance toward the Archangel’s launch bay.
