U.C. 0096 — As the so-called Laplace Incident between the Earth Federation Forces and the Neo Zeon remnants draws to a close, a new mission is assigned to the unofficial mercenary unit “Argent Kiel,” which accepts jobs regardless of whether they come from Federation or Zeon. Their new task: the assassination of a Federation high-ranking official. It was supposed to be a small operation, nothing remarkable— yet that very job begins to shake the foundations of Argent Kiel, long shrouded in silence, and unearth the hidden truth that had been buried as a mere illusion.
