History[]
Mobile Suit Gundam 0083 Rebellion[]
In UC 0083, Geil Hunt, survivor of the Granada MAU Geil and wanted for Class B war crimes, surrendered to authorities and has already been sentenced to death. Prior to this he was requested by Cima to join the Delaz Fleet, but he surrenders himself to the Federation military authorities instead due to his disgust at Delaz's speech. Later, he becomes a subordinate of Green Wyatt on the condition that he compensates the families of his subordinates. Geil's apparent death was falsified by the Earth Federation and brought into the Kilgelles Team under the name of Claude Kurtz, one of pilots of a RX-81FC G-Line Full Custom. He and the rest of the Kilgelles Team were brought aboard the MSC-07 Albion. Under the commands of Green Wyatt, the Kilgelles Team are to be reinforcements and to be treated as an independent unit in the chain of command holding on to the angle of thus being a cooperative search for the enemy.
Using Geil's knowledge as a former Zeon marine, the Federation managed to get in contact with Cima Garahau and her fleet to open negotiations with the Earth Federations Forces. These negotiations are the detailed plans for the attack on the naval review in the condition of admitting Cima's entire fleet into the Earth Federation Forces. However, these negotiations end poorly to the intervention of the RX-78GP01-Fb Gundam "Zephyranthes" Full Burnern.
