In U.C 0120, Sid and Def were part of to the Earth Federation Forces' (EFF) Ra Cailum-class ship Admiral Tianem as part of the EFF's 13th Experimental Corps to test SNRI's Gundam F90. During this mission he is assigned to F90 Unit 2 that had C.A-III Pseudo Personality A.I. While testing Unit 2 capabilities near a shoal zone both his unit and Def's were attacked by the Oldsmobile Forces.[1] He and dev manage to evade the enemy attack, but his unit were ambushed by several Oldsmobile's MS and captured. Fortunately Sid manage to escape by bailing out of the F90 and rescued by Def's F90.[4]
Although managed to escape the Oldsmobiles, the lost of F90 Unit 2 put both Him, Def and Navi on severe punishments, but due to Job John's influence the manage to escape the punishment.[4] Sid then assigned to 13th Autonomous Fleet, after the Corps reorganized and was sent to Mars to recapture the F90 and wipe out the Zeon Remnants on that planet.[4] While the Admiral Tianem cruising on its way to the Red Planet, Sid would pilot a AMS-119S Lehr Doga on a mock battle, but he and Def would defy the order to return to the ship and got scolded again. After the mock battle he shares his enthusiasm with Bosch Weller, about the superior handling of the Lehr Doga and Zeon MS technology, but it was cut short when the ship attacked by a space mine.[5]
The Incident aroused suspicious of Navi, she suggested that a traitor might infiltrated the Ship, but Sid unsure about Navi's argument and decided to brushed off the suspicion.[6] Longstory short the fleet arrived on Mars and Sid tasked to escort Def's F90 and Navi's RGM-89ST2 ST Gun during EFF invasion of Oldsmobile's Olympus Mons base on Dropship No 12. But while preparing to decent on Mars surface, the fleet was ambushed by several RF Adzam and almost captured. But due to Def thinking skill Sid and the rest of his Squadmate manage to escape the capture and landed on Mars unharmed.[6] After the Dropship landed on Mars, Sid act as overwatch while waiting for Def to awake after he fainted during the landing. Then he informed his squadmates that the Oldsmobile approaching the Dropship, which forces Sid and his Squadmate to they manage to recover their strength and prepared their MS, but the immediate arrival of Oldsmobile MS' forced them to abandon the Dropship while also rigged it as a large timed bomb.[7]
The action successfully tricked the enemy MS and manage to takedown several of them, but Sid alongside his squadmate are ambushed by other Oldsmobile forces led by RF Gyan. Sid and his Lehr Doga is incapable of fighting back due to lacking weaponries to fight back, which caused the enemy to capture Navi's ST Gun leaving Him and Def to fight through the enemy base and rendevous with allied forces.[7] Sid's experience and knowledge as F90 pilot were invaluable asset, as he manage to assembled a combination of F90 mission pack for Def dubbed F90 Gundam F90 A.D.S Type and proceed to attack the enemy base.[3] He and Def manage to infiltrate the Olympus Mons Base, but while doing so His Lehr Doga was ambushed and destroyed by OMS-90R Gundam F90 piloted by Bosch, leaving Dev to fight Bosch alone. Despite the Lehr Doga destruction, he survived the battle and manage to link up with Navi and escaped the Olympus Mons Base. Eventually with the arrival of Def's damaged F90, Sid and his squadmate escaped Mars and survived the battle.[8]
