Decisive Gunfire

With the fall of Panama, the Alliance has lost its last mass driver, and thus its access to space. At a meeting of the Alliance leadership, the industrialist Muruta Azrael- leader of the anti-Coordinator group known as Blue Cosmos- proposes that they obtain a replacement mass driver by forcing the Orb Union to join the Alliance.

Uzumi rejects the Alliance's ultimatum, and Azrael launches his attack. The Archangel fights in Orb's defense, with Mu now piloting the rebuilt Strike Gundam. Even Dearka, released by Miriallia on the eve of the battle, comes to the Archangel's aid with his Buster Gundam. But the defenders are hard pressed by Azrael's secret weapon- a trio of powerful new Gundams and their artificially enhanced pilots.
