Bright is an officer cadet, with just six months' service under his belt, when the assault carrier
White Base
arrives at
Side 7.
Hours later, after a savage surprise attack by
Zeonmobile suits,
he finds himself the ship's only surviving officer. As acting captain of the White Base, Bright rises to the occasion and leads his crew of civilian recruits through one crisis after another. However, his strict leadership often creates friction with his headstrong pilots, especially
Amuro.
