History[]
First Generation (A.G. 115)[]
Ract is the leader of the Euba forces located in Fardain. He first appears when the Euba launch an attack on the Zalam mansion where he hopes to settle the conflict from the previous day. He notices the children outside the Zalam mansion, but forgets about them as the Zalam launch a counterattack. He faces Don Boyage in battle, but Flit Asuno intervenes in his Gundam. Though confused by who Flit is, Ract's attention quickly turns to the UE who also enter the fray. He tells Flit that this is no place for a child and tells him that Euba will handle it, so Flit leaves in order to protect the children on the truck.[2]
Ract and Don are both easily repelled along with their men. Flit returns and pleads with them to work together. They agree to a temporary truce, and Ract introduces himself to Flit. The three of them head to the city which has also come under attack. Ract and Don face a Baqto together but are easily overpowered, so Flit takes over. They instead focus on evacuating the city but another Baqto starts attacking them. Woolf Enneacle enters the scene with his G-Exes and takes out the remaining UE forces. After the [3]battle, Ract finally meets Don face-to-face. They resolve to fight the UE together.[4]
Ract led the Euba forces during the battle to protect Fardain, and tried to stop them from fighting the Zalam forces after being tricked by the Zedas. He listens to Boyage's motivational speech to both the Zalam and Euba forces, and tells him to stop when he charges at the enemy. Boyage asks him if he thinks a future of peace where there is no strife between factions is possible, and Ract responds by saying that he is unsure but hope to see it. Boyage tells him that Flit changed both of them, and entrusts the rest of the Zalam forces to Ract. He is shocked when Boyage goes out in a blaze of glory. After the battle, he unites Euba and Zalam. He tells Grodek Ainoa that they will join him at Minsry after burying Boyage and gathering more ships from other colonies.[5]
Ract, true to his word, joins Grodek and the others at the Birmings Mansion. He participates in the strategy meetings, sometimes getting heated. He is present when Grodek is arrested and joins Flit and the others when they go against the Federation to rescue him.
During the Battle of Ambat, he lost himself in the heat of the battle and wanting to die nobly just like Don Boyage he charged towards the remains of the oncoming UE mothership, only to be stopped by the Age-1 and Madorna's Shaldoll M.
