Unveiling New Characters and Mecha
This latest reveal introduces four new characters: Azami Meggineh and Joff Idiy, former members of the Federation Forces who have stirred chaos within the mercenary organization, to which the protagonist belongs; Haro, a loyal companion who supports the protagonist; and Fixzi Fix, a mysterious boy with a deep connection to Babia Lena of Argent Keel. Additionally, the unveiling includes the Mobile Suit "ZSSA," piloted by Joff!
Characters
Azami Meggineh, age 38, is a former Federation Forces official who has been secretly collaborating with Zeon, manipulating both sides for her own gain. Narcissistic and sharp-tongued, she skillfully twists others' words to keep them at a distance. Currently, she is hiding among the Neo Zeon remnants, known as the Sleeves, for her protection.
Age 33, Joff Idiy is a direct subordinate of Azami Meggineh and has been her bodyguard since their time together in the Federation Forces. A skilled pilot, he now flies a red Zssa as a replacement member of the Sleeves' "RGTS" mobile suit team.
Fixzi Fix is a young boy who formed a profound bond with Babia Lena, leaving a tremendous impact on her belief system.
A pet robot originally manufactured by the SUN Corporation, Haro has been uniquely customized by the protagonist, making it a lovable companion. It offers generous support at times, though it occasionally causes more trouble than help.
Mecha
ZSSA (JOFF AIDI USE) Model number：AMX-102
A Zssa piloted by Joff, who defected to the Sleeves alongside Azami. Modified from the RGTS type, its equipment has been reconfigured to suit his unique piloting style.

I am very happy to have had the opportunity to appear in the VR film Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom. It's an honor to be involved in such a fresh format, especially since I get to pilot a GUNDAM, something I’ve admired since I was young. I’m really looking forward to seeing how the story unfolds from my perspective, and I’m excited about it myself!
Shin Yuuki
Protagonist Voice #1
I never imagined I’d have the chance to pilot a GUNDAM in this way, and it felt quite mysterious during the recording. I’m thrilled that this work, which allows people not just to see but to "experience" it, is finally reaching everyone and fulfilling the long-held dreams of many. I’m excited to think that it’s about to be in your hands! I hope you fully immerse yourself in the Universal Century…!
Atsumi Tanezaki
Protagonist Voice #2
I’m Mariya Ise, and I will be playing BABIA LENA in the VR film Mobile Suit Gundam: Silver Phantom. This work offers a new kind of experience where you can actually control and immerse yourself in the film as a pilot, unlike traditional animation movies. The passionate spirit of Gundam remains unchanged, and I’m confident that it will move the hearts of the viewers. I hope you’re looking forward to it!
