I’m trying something new out here at Zeonic. No, this isn’t something new… it’s actually something old. I’ve only had this stuff sitting around on the external that I’m still trying to salvage, so I figured I’d present stuff as I go through the folders. Here’s the deal with this series. I’m presenting the first photonovel chapter and manga grouping that correlates with the first of six chapters (chapter seven is the court martial events). All in all this should tie in quite nicely and provide for some interesting material for the Gundam community. A link to the first three chapters is below. The scans for the photonovel are attached.

Chapters 4-5 will complete the first part of this arc before 6-10 mark a shift in the calendar year to 0085. Essentially Volume 01 will take place before the main crux of the series begins. I should hopefully have that done within the next week as I can easily do one chapter of this a day.
