Robert Spacey (ロベール・スペイシー Robēru Supeishī?) is a Mobile Suit Development Historian in Mobile Suit Gundam 00V. He was initially studying political history, but after experiencing the revolution brought by Celestial Being when he was 30 years old and coincidentally seeing the Avalanche Exia in action, he switched his study to MS development history. In Gundam 00V, Robert (50 at the time of writing) recounts the stories behind the Gundams and other Mobile Suits around the time when Celestial Being appeared and changed the face of mobile suit development.

History

First Meeting Deborah

In 2306 AD, Robert was attending a HRL military exercise in preparation for HRL Tenchu's 10th anniversary the following year. During the exercise, four AEU-05 AEU Hellion from an unknown group appeared, causing a panic among the guests. During the chaos, Robert bumped into Deborah Galiena, a UN test pilot attending the ceremony. The HRL eventually took care of the Hellions and shot them down using their MSJ-06II-AC Tieren Antiaircraft Cannon Types, but Deborah's cool and levelheadedness during the incident left a great impression on Robert.

The Avalanche Exia

In 2307 AD, Robert, who was a young political historiographer that time, was following a UN inspection of the Union Army. The Union had problem of increasing its armed presence in South America, and Robert was there to collect data for study purposes. As he was conversing with the inspection test pilot, Deborah Galiena, the GN-001/hs-A01 Gundam Avalanche Exia suddenly appeared on the air space. The base immediately sent out its squadron of Flags to intercept the Gundam, but they were outmaneuvered and destroyed within minutes. Robert was there to see the battle, and the Avalanche Exia's performance inspired him to pursue study about Mobile Suit development.

HRL Tenchu Terrorist Attack

The HRL Orbital Elevator, Tenchu, was often targeted by terrorist attacks, and battles around the area were almost natural occurrences. During Robert's stay in a city at the Tenchu, a battle was happening between the HRL army and the terrorist. Robert was hoping for the Gundams to appear, but they hadn't made an appearance - to his disappointment. As he was about to meet his friend Deborah at a nearby resort, he eventually witnessed a Gundam in action; the GN-002/DG014 Gundam Dynames Torpedo was shooting the forces at the orbital elevator from several miles away.

Battle in Okinawa Base

At the time, Robert was about to meet with Deborah at the American base in Okinawa to discuss some issues. When he got there, Deborah was already testing the SVMS-01SG Union Flag Ground Package Shell Type and its features. Coincidentally, at the worst possible time, Deborah encountered the GN-001 Gundam Exia, leading to a battle. The Shell Flag managed to withstand a strike from the Gundam, and with her exceptional piloting skills, Deborah survived the encounter uninjured. No one knew the reason for the Exia's presence at the Okinawa base, but Robert later noted in his book that the Gundam's attack was possibly an accident.

Escape from Alejandro

When the work Ms. Deborah, Robert and others were completely finished, there was the worst possibility that Alejandro would dispose of them. In fear, Robert and Deborah escaped, making use of the Union Flag Orbit Package Colony Guard from the Orbital Elevator. The two people, trying to go to the Lagrange 1's Union Space Colony, didn't know neither that CB is hiding in Lagrange 1's Asteroid Area, nor that a large battle will occur. If they were to go to the colony, the two considered contacting Kinue Crossroad. Robert and Ms. Deborah on the run because of a certain incident we were involved in meets Fon Spaak and gang, the members of "Fereshte", in the CB base in the Asteroid Belt. They see the "Gundam Nadleeh Akwos". Sherilyn the one who continued the upload of the test data of the new arms used in the final battle.

Meeting the Steel Cowboy

Then Robert and Ms. Deborah went to Japan to try to contact a journalist involved with the case, but by the time of our arrival, that person had passed away. Fearing for their lives, they sought refuge at the Union Okinawa base, where Ms. Galiena had been stationed in the past. It is there that Robert would meet him right after the final battle with Celestial Being. Amy Zimbalist piloting a Shell Flag then. Robert didn’t think he would ever forget his piloting. He thought it was awful because it took him some time to just get the Mobile Suit to walk. Later on his skills were extremely well-matched to the specifics of piloting machines equipped with GN Drives. Because GN Drive-equipped Mobile Suits use GN Particles for movement and propulsion, controlling them required quite a different set of skills. He was a pilot who seems to have been born to pilot such machines.

New Armaments

And then now, when the Ascalon is being tested for data, Robert Spacey greeted her saying, "Could I have a minute with you?" Robert came to Lagrange 3, and seemingly is an acquantance of Ian's. He came to this absolutely secret establishment with the pretext of assisting in development. He personally tampered with the data for simulation of Ascalon, and removed almost all of the armaments except for the container. Sherilyn was angry, but when she saw the data, Arios showed a high performance in cooperation with Archer that is by far the best it ever had. Even Sherilyn said "Isn't this cool..." and acknowledged Robert's suggestion. Finally, the updated machine with this equipment is called "Arios Gundam GHNW/M".

Comparing Thoughts

The drama part discusses the GNZ-001 "GRM Gundam" (pronounced "garm"). Billy Katagiri's point of view of the story is expounded. After the battle with the Innovades, CB concealed themselves. At around this time, he met Billy Katagiri. Billy didn't want to clarify much about his cooperation with the Innovades, and then his temporary joint action with CB. However, thereupon Robert says he's interested only in MS production, and while laughing informed that he too was with CB, and Billy's worries melted away. Billy exchanges news with Robert. It seems that the Garm Gundam is still inside the CB mothership, and will probably sooner or later discovered. And now, the CB mothership is under surveillance of the Federation, and they are progressing with the internal inspections. After this, they forget the time and talked about Mobile Suits with great enthusiasm.
