History[]
Following the sinking of the the Pegasus-class assault carrier Spartan during the battle at Taal Volcano, its survivors formed a new strike team against the South Seas Alliance with the Beehive II as their flagship. Orphe and Dent, previously pilots of RX-79[GS] Gundam Ground Type S units, sortied in Full Armor Gundam Heads alongside the MSN-02 Perfect Zeong, the RX-78AL Atlas Gundam and a MS-14 Federation Gelgoog to strike a training facility for Psycho Zaku Mk-IIs used by the Alliance located within a derelict colony in Side 4.
The units piloted by Orphe and Dent, along with Alicia's Federation Gelgoog, were severely damaged by an attack from a MSN-01 High Mobility Psycommu System Zaku (Thunderbolt Ver.) piloted by Billy Hickam. However, the three pilots escaped thanks to Dent ejecting the Core module.
