Operation starfall full#

Witnessing this, Gato crushes the bridge attempting to kill Cima, but she escapes in her new AGX-04 Gerbera Tetra. The operation is put in grave danger when Cima's forces betray the Delaz Fleet and Cima personally assassinates Delaz on his Gwazine-class. The pursuing forces are unable to stop Ease from entering Earth's gravity well. Gato attacks the pursuing Federal Forces with the Neue Ziel's immense power, however he is intercepted by Uraki, this time piloting the massive RX-78GP03 Gundam 'Dendrobium' in an attempt to redirect the colony from Earth. The Axis Advance Fleet delivers Anavel Gato the powerful mobile armor AMX-002 Neue Ziel. However, the real plan was to bounce Ease off of Blade and send the former crashing into Earth, specifically central North America where a majority of the Federation's food is produced. The final phase of Operation Stardust is to aim both colonies towards the Moon, making it appear as though Zeon was attacking the city of Von Braun. Both pilots lose their respective mobile suits, but not before Gato confronts Uraki outside of their cockpits.ДЄlmost immediately after the attack on Konpei Island, the Cima Fleet sets out to hijack Islands Ease and Blade of Side 1.

After the firing, Gato is intercepted again by Uraki, who is now piloting the upgraded Zephyranthes Full Burnern. Launching in the Physalis, Gato heads to the former Zeon asteroid base and launches the nuclear warhead, destroying the flagship Birmingham and over two-thirds of the Federation Space Fleet. The next phase of Operation Stardust involves using the stolen Gundam to attack the Earth Federation at their Naval Review being held at Konpei Island. While Cima's forces intercept the Moon-bound Albion, Delaz, with Gato at his side, broadcasts a speech throughout the Earth Sphere, stating the Delaz Fleet's declaration of war against the Earth Federation. Despite the suspicions raised by Gato, Delaz explained that they would need Cima's forces to assist in Operation Stardust. With Gundam Unit 2 successfully delivered to space, Admiral Aiguille Delaz sought the help of the mysterious Zeon ace pilot Cima Garahau and her notorious Cima Fleet. Despite a ferocious attack from the Albion, Neuen Bitter's forces held off the Albion long enough for Gato and the Physalis to successfully leave Earth. Base commander Neuen Bitter provided Gato with an HLV transport to launch the stolen Gundam into space. From there, Gato arrived at the Kimberlite Base in Africa. Over the next week Gato is pursued by mobile suit forces from the Albion, but escapes the Australian continent on a Zeon submarine. The Albion crew lost a RGM-79C Powered GM as well as a MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type. Gato was aided by three MS-09F/trop Dom Tropens and one YMS-16M Xamel. Gato successfully stole the mobile suit and escaped the base with it, despite being involved in a minor skirmish with Gundam Unit 1, piloted by rookie pilot Kou Uraki. There, Gato was to sneak onto the warship and steal the Physalis after the nuclear warhead was installed. The Physalis and its sister unit, the RX-78GP01 Gundam 'Zephyranthes', arrived at Torrington Base on 7 October UC 0083 on board the Pegasus-class Albion. The Delaz Fleet used OYW ace pilot Anavel Gato and Anaheim Electronics spy Nick Orville to infiltrate the Federation's Torrington Base in Australia. This would expose the fact that the Earth Federation had broken the Antarctic Treaty. Gundam GP02A was designed specifically for tactical warfare, being armed with a deadly Mk.82 nuclear warhead. Zeon intelligence had learned that the Federation was developing new Gundam mobile suits in case any remaining Zeon forces were planning an attack. The first phase of Operation Stardust involved stealing the Earth Federation's newest Gundam model, the RX-78GP02A Gundam 'Physalis'. The operation can be roughly divided into three stages: Its ultimate goal was to reduce the Earth's food production capacity by destroying the granary of the North American continent, thereby increasing the dependence on space colonies for food, strengthening the voice of the Spacenoids in the Earth Federation, and ultimately turning the attention of the federal government to space.

Delaz, in his thirst for revenge against the victorious Federation, retreats with his forces to the Garden of Thorns. The Delaz Fleet, led by Aiguille Delaz, retreats from the battle after their leader Gihren Zabi is assassinated by his sister Kycilia Zabi. The roots for Operation Stardust begin during the Battle of A Baoa Qu.
