OUTLINE
【概要】

A Kadokawa Shoten comic book serialized in Gundam Ace from October 2007 to March 2010. Set in the final portion of the One Year War, the main plot focuses on a plot to assassinate the Principality of Zeon Supreme Commander Gihren Zabi. The manga is drawn in the form of a documentary based on confidential and archived material of the Zeon’s situation that the Federation Forces discovered during the course of their investigation upon entering the Zeon homeland after the war.

Readers will note many parallels to the “Plot to Assassinate Hitler” in this series. Many things such as the tense situation resulting from signs of defeat right before the end of the war, the Zeon brass involved in the assassination attempt, the plan members using the old name of Edda (as well as Valkyrie) to the appearance of a disabled war veteran.
