Advance of Zeta: The Flag of Titans is an original story set in U.C. 0084, and is the story of one of the first Titans' units, the Titans Test Team's Black Otter squad. It was serialized in the monthly publications Dengeki Hobby Magazine and Dengeki Daioh.

In 0084, Eliard Hunter, an officer in the Earth Federation Forces, is ordered to join the Titans, an elite military unit that he has longed to join.

Eliard grows as a pilot by repeating various operations and actual battles, as well as testing new mobile suits. However, what awaits him after fighting through the grueling "Gryps War" is a new battle: a military trial on four different charges...

Conrad Morris, a lawyer, becomes Eliard's defense attorney and, believing in Eliard's innocence and determined to fight alongside him, he scrambles to find Eliard's former comrades.

  • Because team leader Wes Murphy is fond of rabbits, all the TR Series machines assigned to the Titans Test Team are given nicknames derived from Watership Down, a novel by Richard Adams which recounts the adventures of a group of rabbits, Hazel, Bigwig, Dandelion, and Fiver are the names of heroic rabbits, Kehaar is a friendly bird who helps them, and Woundwort is a rabbit general who becomes their adversary.
  • The story’s flagship mobile suit, the Gundam TR-1 Hazel, can be glimpsed in one scene from the movie “Zeta Gundam III: Love is the Pulse of the Stars.”
  • The Gundam TR-6 Woundwort was voted in a poll on the Gundam Official Website in a poll for a Mobile Suit cameo in Gundam Build Fighters.
