TRANSLATION NOTES:
(1) The intro paragraph states 諸説あります which means there are various accounts/theories/opinions/views, which is likely their blanket statement for other serials running in Gundam Ace that aren’t mentioned or have conflicting timeline events (such as the F91 Prequel manga placing Hauserie’s assassination much earlier in the timeline).
(2) The text here says F9零号機(F90), which I’ve elected to translate as F9 Unit 0.
