In AG 108 the UE attacked Ovan, destroying the colony. Flit was one of the few survivors, though his home was destroyed and his mother killed. He moved to the colony Nora where he began working with the Earth Federal Forces to develop a mobile suit that could defeat the UE.

First Sortie
In the year AG 115 the UE attacked the colony Nora. On that day the Gundam's mobility tests had been completed. Seeing all of the Earth Federal Forces weapons being systematically wiped out, Flit had no choice but to activate the Gundam and use it to fight, even if it was against the wishes of his elders who were uncertain if the Gundam was ready to fight. However Flit proved the Gundam was ready, and defeated a Gafran with the Gundam's beam dagger. This was the first victory against the UE in 14 years of war.

The remaining two Gafran scanned the Gundam, destroyed their fallen comrade, and retreated. Once at a safe distance they utilized a colony destroyer weapon on Nora.
