It was an era when a multitude of corporations have entered space and built a huge economic system.

Important Events

On the 20th of the month in which the attack occurred, the Front 3rd Autonomous Sector had approved a budget to purchase Gundam-type mobile suits manufactured by Ochs Earth. Ochs Earth's weapon system had raised major concerns regarding bioethical issues for its pilots, and the accountability of the company as well as the Mobile Suit Development Council had been called into question. The attack was upon the Vanadis Institute's laboratory at Fólkvangr. On that day, tests were being conducted on one of the aforementioned Gundams, the XGF-02 Gundam Lfrith (LF-03). The Lfrith had not yet managed to meet the conditions imposed by the council. According to a video call between Ochs Earth employees Yamaoka and Nadim Samaya, the higher-ups/their sponsors were in a rush to roll out the Lfrith as the council had set a deadline.
In actuality, the council never planned to accept Ochs Earth. The council met at an asteroid, aware they were overstepping the bounds of private enterprise with their plans to mark the end of Ochs Earth. An hour later, they held a press conference. The council announced their decision to suspend all development of Gundam-type mobile suits. In addition, they would forcibly seize Ochs Earth, the company that developed them, under the authority provided by business administrative laws, and to maintain order and ethics in the development of mobile suits, they would establish the auditing organization named Cathedra.
The fighting occurred concurrently with the council's press conference. Cathedra troops infiltrated Fólkvangr on the Begavent which the Vanadis Institute believed to be a cargo ship. A traffic controller at Control 173 directed the it to Gate 3. On the surface of the asteroid, a person in a normal suit hacked into Fólkvangr's systems. Under orders from Delling Rembran, Dominicus had deployed the Ulysses to raid Fólkvangr. When Cardo Nabo arrived to watch the broadcast with her colleagues, she realised that the Begavent was a trap. Troops from Cathedra disembarked and killed two employees. Heingra mobile suits launched from the port side of the Ulysses as HQ ordered all Dominicus units to seal off Fólkvangr and its surrounding space. Nyla Bertran noticed smoke grenades in the hallways but was shot dead by Cathedra shortly after warning Wendy Olent to run. Nadim Samaya launched in Gundam Lfrith Pre-Production Model LF-01. At Permet score two, he dodged all beams fired from the Heingras. He then launched GUND-BITs at a Heingra, moving to Permet score three, destroying the suit and its pilot. Thus, the remaining Heingra pilots were ordered not to engage one-on-one due to these "unfamiliar swarm weapons". Wendy, who piloted the other Lfrith Pre-Production model to avenge Nyla, destroyed a Heingra with a beam. The Ulysses detected the second Gundam-type mobile suit to the port side in their travel direction, apparently confirming how many machines existed at Fólkvangr. Kenanji Avery then deployed in the CEK-040 Beguir-Beu.
Wendy engaged two Heingras, launching GUND-BITs which destroyed one. The other fired beams back at her which she evaded. She deactivated the launchers as the side-effects of GUND took hold such as markings on her face and rapid breathing. She had raised her score to dangerous levels but was still no match for the Beguir-Beu which uses Non-Kinetic Pods to disable the GUND-BITs she had launched. With the GUND Format link suppressed, Wendy couldn't move her Gundam. Kenanji secured his Beguir-Beu by grabbing Wendy's beam rifle with his right Foot Unit and stabbing his left bayonet's Sword Unit into the torso of the Gundam, firing the Double Beam Gun twice. In her office, Dr. Cardo Nabo reached for a firearm in her desk drawers when the assault unit commander of Cathedra entered to execute her. After stalling them with a speech on the GUND Format, she aimed a pistol at them.
With Wendy killed in action, the Beguir-Beu chased Nadim's remaining Gundam around the asteroid. Inside the laboratory, flames began to engulf the Gundam Lfrith (LF-03) that Ericht Samaya was still inside of. Fortunately, Elnora Samaya found her and closed the cockpit hatch. Upon booting up the Lfrith, it intercepted a message that the enemy had successfully neutralized the lives of Cardo Nabo and all key members, and that they were to retreat as soon as preparations to blow up the front were complete. The Lfrith then had a successful callback from layer 33 with Ericht Samaya's name on the monitor. The Ulysses detected the unregistered Permet identification code as strong electromagnetic waves from within Fólkvangr; realising there was a third machine they weren't aware of. The last Gundam Lfrith launched into space and deployed Bit Staves which combined into the Compo GUND-BIT Shield. Eri touched three targets on the monitor whilst her normal suit was connected to the port for her mother's prosthetic arm. The shield separated into Bit Staves, destroying two of the Heingras that Eri had locked onto. A surviving Heingra briefly wielded a beam saber but a Bit Stave quickly docked into the Lfrith's Receiver Gun, forming the GUND-BIT Rifle, destroying the Heingra in a single shot.
The Compo GUND-BIT Shield formed again to block incoming beams from the Beguir-Beu. The Receiver Gun became the Beam Blade as the Beguir-Beu faced the Lfrith head-on with its bayonet's Sword Units. Kenanji deploys his Non-Kinetic Pods to disable the Gundam, but one was destroyed when Nadim entered firing Beam Vulcans. Nadim rammed his Gundam into the Beguir-Beu. While Nadim held onto the Beguir-Beu, Elnora and Eri flee as the Ulysses fired beams at them. Nadim leveled up to Permet score four. Rapidly breathing, he whited out. Still holding the Beguir-Beu, he sung Happy Birthday to Ericht until his last breath. The Beguir-Beu pushed away the motionless Lfrith Pre-Production Model and retreated. Ericht finished the song alone as her father's Gundam exploded.

Setting

Benerit Group

Benerit Group.

As of A.S. 122, the Benerit Group is led by President Delling Rembran and consists of 157 member corporations, including: Grassley Defense Systems, Jeturk Heavy Machinery, Peil Technologies, and Shin Sei Development Corporation. The more profitable and successful a member corporation is, the more influence it wields within the group, with the top three performers given special recognition. Corporations that fail to turn a profit for too many quarters, such as Parneo Company, are denied access to the group's pool of funds and face potential ruin. The Asticassia School of Technology, a leading mobile suit training academy, is run by the Benerit Group. The group also wields substantial authority on Earth and has been known to deploy mobile suits to quell Earthian protests against Spacian exploitation.

GUND-ARM Incorporated

GUND-ARM Incorporated.

GUND-ARM, Inc. is a research and development company from the Ad Stella timeline created from the merger of Shin Sei Development Corporation and Peil Technologies's development teams. Their main focus is to research and develop the various medical applications of the GUND Format technology.
To counter Peil Technologies's proposal to dispose of XVX-016 Gundam Aerial alongside FP/A-77 Gundam Pharact due to the violation of the Cathedra Agreement, Miorine Rembran submitted a plan at the Benerit Group's 15th Incubation Event Party to acquire the mobile suits and their development teams from Shin Sei Development Corporation and Peil Technologies to form a new company. Investors from the Benerit Group initially dismissed the idea due to Miorine's lack of credibility in ensuring the company's compliance with the Cathedra Agreement and the safety of the GUND-ARM technology. However, Miorine successfully persuaded the President of Benerit Group, Delling Rembran, to invest in the project. The investment from Delling convinced other investors of the project's reliability, leading to the successful foundation of the company as another subsidiary of the Benerit Group. As a result, Delling gained direct control over GUND-ARM technology and Gundam development, reversing his earlier stance of banning all GUND-ARM related technology.

Asticassia School of Technology

Asticassia School of Technology.

The Asticassia School of Technology is a location appearing in the Ad Stella Timeline. A higher-education facility run by the Benerit Group. It is made up of specialized piloting, mechanical, and management strategy departments. A recommendation from a company affiliated with the Benerit Group is a prerequisite for admission. The school is a front located in Front Sector 73. Personal combat between students conducted using mobile suits. The participants settle important matters via these duels, with something they each desire, such as money or honor, at stake. The winner is the first one to break the blade antenna of their opponent's mobile suit [3]. During duels, MS must use beams at low energy output per school regulations.
This consists of three elements identifying the student's year of admission, department, and personal number. Third-year students are designated as "K," second-year students as "L," and first-year students as "M." The piloting department is "P," the mechanical department is "M," and the management strategy department is "S." The personal number is determined by the hierarchy of the recommending companies. For example; Suletta's student ID number "LP041" is made up of "L" for her admission year, "P" for the piloting department, and "041" for her personal number. The school provides each student with a student notebook. For personal transportation, students can ride electric scooters. Often seen around the school is the multipurpose Haro robot.
The school has a gender-neutral uniform consisting of a greyish green and black jacket with red accents, and a matching pair of short pants. Various lengths are available for the pants and footwear is often customized. Some students may wear the school's orange inner suit beneath the jacket and shorts. The Holder has the option of changing to a white uniform with a gold emblem from their student notebook. Students enrolled in the Mechanics Department or those partaking in group assignments as mechanics and spotters wear green overalls with a light-grey vest. The standard pilot suit comes in an all-grey color scheme. The Holder has the option of changing to a white pilot suit with a gold emblem from their student notebook. The standard normal suit is khaki with yellow-green accents and sleeves.

Earth House

Earth House.

House members consist of students from Earth, some of whom face regular discrimination from Spacian students. As a result, its members generally distrust and dislike Spacians. Suletta Mercury is presently the only Spacian member within the House. The house contains several farm animals such as a chicken, a yak named Brahe, and a goat named Tiko. It also serves as the headquarters of GUND-ARM, Inc., which employs most of the house members.
Nika Nanaura briefly meets Suletta prior to a class beginning only for the class to be interrupted by Guel Jeturk's reckless actions in a duel to damage the area and nearly crush several of the students, including Suletta. Nika along with a couple of her fellow members of Earth House witness Suletta's Gundam make short work out of Guel. During the rematch between Suletta and Guel, a majority of the Earth House are cheering for Suletta apparently seeing her as a potential champion due to fighting against Guel. Chuchu cheers for Suletta to crush the Spacian, although Martin reminds her that she's not an Earthian either.
Members of the Earth House help Suletta prepare for her duel against Elan Ceres. Nika and Martin attend the Incubation Party along with Suletta and Miorine.

Facilities

Hangar: A hangar where mobile suits for pilot course students are stored. Demi-Trainers are mainly used as training MS, but depending on the dormitory, the company that backs the pilot training program may also provide the machine. After MS are stored in containers, they can be quickly transported to each tactical test area by using special rails.
Tactical Testing Sectors: At least 13 tactical testing sectors exist for MS training and duelling. Each of can simulate a different environment using holograms. In case of fires, a heat management system deploys sprinklers from the ceiling.
Lounge: The lounge of the dueling committee with a large monitor. It is used to witness duels and take oaths.
Monorail: A monorail system used to transport students to and from school.
Greenhouse: Miorine Rembran's personal greenhouse. It is used for her gardening hobby.
