Technical and Historical Notes

By the year CC 2345, Earth has become a world devoid of advanced technology like spaceships or mobile suits. That changed when advance forces from the Moonrace's Dianna Counter army arrived on Earth to begin colonization. Outside the city of Nocis, youngsters held a Coming of Age ceremony where they danced and offered prayers in front of the "White Doll" statue. During the Coming of Age ceremony for Loran Cehack and Sochie Heim, the Dianna Counter forces arrived and attacked Nocis. The White Doll statue crumbled during the attack, revealing a fully operational white mobile suit, the SYSTEM ∀-99 ∀ Gundam. Unsure of how to control it, Loran could do nothing when the Turn A automatically fired its beam rifle at the Dianna Counter forces, which were totally unaware of mobile suits being present on Earth.

After several battles, the White Doll became the symbol for the Inglessa Militia and its chief source of military power during the excavation of more mobile suits. Loran first became aware of the Turn A's past when he encountered psychopathic pilot Corin Nander, who referred to it as a "Gundam." Loran discovered more when assassin Teteth Halleh identified the suit as "Turn A." The Turn A's main propulsion was provided by an I-field Beam Drive System, which left the suit completely hollow and allowed it to be filled with extra armaments and rocket thrusters. Standard armament consisted of two beam sabers and a beam rifle. The Turn A was even equipped with an anti-nuclear weapon barrier protecing it from nuclear weapons. When the Willgem began the journey for the Moon, Loran encountered the primitive Adesca tribe, which believed that the Turn A marks the end of their history. It is on the Moon that Loran finally learned the terrible truth behind the Turn A's history.

As revealed by Gym Ghingnham and archived footage of the "Dark History", the Turn A was responsible for the destruction of Earth's civilization. Built by an unknown party, the Turn A employed the 'Moonlight Butterfly', a powerful attack that unleashed nanomachines across the world and turned all technology to sand. According the Gym, the Turn A was the brother unit to his own CONCEPT-X 6-1-2 Turn X, which was found buried on the Moon. After learning the truth about the Turn A, Loran discovered several new features he was unaware of, most noticeably a Core Fighter which was actually the cockpit and front skirt armor. Other features included the ability to disappear from visual sight by unknown means. The Turn A and Turn X would have their final showdown on Earth, where both suits activated their Moonlight Butterfly systems and were eventually encased in a large cocoon- along with Gym himself.
