The RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex was the last of three RX-0 units built by Anaheim Electronics under the banner of the Earth Federation Forces' UC Project. The Phenex was named for one of the demons from The Lesser Key of Solomon. Like its sister units, the Phenex featured a full psychoframe and the Newtype Destroyer (NT-D) System for increased performance in combat against Newtypes. The Phenex featured the same basic armaments as its sister units, including vulcan guns, the beam magnum and four beam sabers (two of which are only available in Destroy mode). The Phenex additionally mounted two Armed Armor DE (Defense-Extension) psychoframe weapons on its back. The expandable shields increased the Phenex's thrust and mounted beam cannons and I-field generators. The Phenex's psychoframe had a blue glow in Destroy mode. Its gold armor coloring and wing-like appearance of the open Armed Armor DE in Destroy mode resembled the mythical phoenix.
In UC 0095, the EFF and Anaheim conducted tests on the Phenex and RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee when a report came in of a nearby Neo Zeon weapons test. The two Gundams were deployed in combat against the AMX-107R ReBawoo. A resonance effect between the two RX-0 units resulted in the Phenex going out of control and destroying an EFF ship before disappearing. The Phenex reappeared in UC 0096 and was briefly recaptured by the EFF before disappearing again. In UC 0097, the EFF's Shezarr unit was assigned on a secret mission labeled the Phoenix Hunt to track down and capture the Phenex. The unit encountered the Phenex is Side 4's shoal zone, but their attack was interrupted by the arrival of Jona Basta's RX-9 Narrative Gundam. Jona joined the Phoenix Hunt to find his friend Rita, whose body had been absorbed by the Phenex. With Rita's soul merged into the Phenex, the suit was capable of autonomous action and could move at near light speed. The Narrative Gundam was later destroyed in combat, but with the help of Rita and the Phenex, Jona was able to defeat Zoltan Akkanen's NZ-999 II Neo Zeong. After making the II Neo Zeong vanish, the Phenex flew away from the Earth Sphere. Long after the Universal Century had transitioned into the Regild Century, the Capital Army discovered the plans for the Phenex in the Rose of Hermes blueprints. In RC 1014, they constructed a replica of the Phenex, designated as the CAMS-RX0 Unicorn Gundam 03 Phenex type RC.
