U.C. 0096–.
Argent Kiel, an unofficial mercenary organization that belongs to neither the Eatrh Federation nor Zeon, was contracted to assassinate a high-ranking Federation official, Azami Meghigne. The request came from the Earth Federation Forces, which was unable to make public the existence of Azami, who held a secret communication with Zeon. But just before the mission, their fleet was attacked by none other than the Earth Federation Forces’ Jegan squadron. In the midst of the chaos, a silver Gundam secretly owned by Argent Kiel is released into space.
