Story
At the start of Operation Stardust, former Zeon pilot Anavel Gato, known as the Nightmare of Solomon, steals the Gundam GP02A, which is armed with a nuclear warhead. In a failed attempt to stop Gato, Kou takes the GP01 and confronts Gato. Kou is assigned to the South Burning team aboard the Albion in its pursuit to either recapture or destroy the GP02 before the last remnants of Zeon led by Admiral Aiguille Delaz decide to destroy the Federation Forces. Kou along the way starts a rough and uneasy relationship with Nina Purpleton, an Anaheim Electronics engineer assigned to the Albion for further studies of Unit 01. He was soon promoted to the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade after Lt. South Burning is killed in action.

In the end of Gundam 0083, Kou Uraki was originally sentenced by a military tribunal to a year of hard labor for his role in Operation Stardust. Federal Forces officials decided to remove his sentencing and reinstate his rank, so as to bury the events of Operation Stardust, including their breach of the Antarctic Treaty.

After he is released from Prison, Kou is sent to North America's Oakley base. When he gets there he sees a captured Gelgoog that gives him the peace sign, letting him know that it is Keith. He also encounters Nina and Mora again. Unlike the other members of the Albion crew, Kou Uraki was never seen in a Titan's uniforn.
