Premise
The story is set in the Universal Century 0096. Argent Keel, an unofficial mercenary organization that is neither part of the Federation nor Zeon, has been commissioned to assassinate Azami Megine, a high-ranking Federation official. The mission was requested by the Federation, who cannot make public Azami’s existence as a collusion with Zeon, but just before the fleet is to depart, it is none other than the Federation’s Jegan unit that attacks them. In the midst of this extremely chaotic situation, a silver Gundam that Argent Keel secretly owns is released into space.
With the trailer revealed for Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom, fans can look forward to intense space battles and new pilot characters, adding depth to the Gundam lore. The creative team includes writer Ryoji Sekinishi, mechanical designer Mika Akitaka, and composer Yoshiya Ikeda, ensuring a high-quality production.
