This machine is the culmination of the
AEUG's
secret "Zeta Project," whose goal was to create a
transformable mobile suit
capable of operating in every environment from weightless space to Earth's gravity. By transforming into a streamlined
Wave Rider
form, the Zeta Gundam can ride the shockwaves of atmospheric re-entry and then cruise through Earth's atmosphere. As a
mobile suit,
it combines the movable frame technology of the
Gundam Mk.II
with the lightweight
Gundarium Gamma
alloy of the
Rick Dias,
not to mention an extraordinary level of firepower. In the hands of the young
Newtype
pilot
Kamille Bidan,
one of its principal designers, the Zeta Gundam proves to be the most powerful weapon in the rebels' arsenal.
