Story[]
Chapter 1[]
The Federation Clop-class Abrams, under command of Weibull Gardner, attacks an Oldsmobile base. Bergh Squelette pilots the F90 Gundam F90 as part of operational testing of the mobile suit. Bergh destroys the Oldsmobile forces, and captures one Oldsmobile pilot. Gardner appoints Bergh to be the official pilot of the F90.
The Abrams heads to Earth, to conduct a planetfall operation to attack the Oldsmobile ground base. Bergh pilots the F90P Gundam F90 Plunge Type alongside a force of RGM-109 Heavyguns in the descent operation. The Oldsmobile base is destroyed, but Annafel dies.
The forces' ascent to the orbiting Abrams is interrupted by Charles Rochester in his OMS-14SRF RF Gelgoog Charles Rochester Type, Lieutenant Wilder attacks in a Heavygun, and is killed. The Abrams fires on Charles with its main guns, and Charles retreats. Bergh mourns Lieutenant Wilder, whom he disliked.
The F90V Gundam F90 VSBR Type is completed. Lieutenant Wesbar steals the reserve F90 and is revealed as a spy. Bergh chases him in the F90V; they fight. Wesbar claims he's stolen the F90 for the Crossbone Vanguard. Bergh doesn't want to kill Wesbar, but Wesbar attacks him, and Bergh kills him with the F90V's VSBR. Bergh swears that he will never forgive the Crossbone Vanguard.
Chapter 2[]
The Abrams heads towards the Moon. While on patrol, Bergh in the F90V encounters The Crossbone Vanguard battleship Zamouth Garr, with Iron Mask on the bridge, headed for the Frontier Side. The patrol is interrupted by a plea for help: the Oldsmobile have taken over a base on the Moon.
At the lunar base, Charles Rochester orders the mass driver catapult to fire a rock at the Federation forces It impacts and sinks an unnamed Clop-class battleship. Captain Gardner orders Bergh to deploy in the brand-new F91 Gundam F91.
Charles then broadcasts an ultimatum to the Earth Federation: Recognize the Oldsmobile as an independent state, or else the Oldsmobile will bombard Earth with meteorites from their mass driver. Captain Gardner orders Bergh not to deploy, because the existence of the F91 is being kept secret from the Crossbone Vanguard. Wooder suggests deploying the F91 under heavy Minovsky Particle concentrations, and Gardner agrees, ordering the F91 to deploy and destroy the mass driver. Bergh does so. Charles appears in his Gelgoog, and attacks the F91, but is unable to defeat it. Charles defects from Oldsmobile and flees to the Crossbone's Mobile Fortress, which opens a door to admit him. Bergh fires the F91's VSBR through the hatch, killing Charles and destroying the Mobile Fortress.
The F91 remains secret and is sent to an Strategic Naval Research Institute facility on Frontier 1.
