In P.D. 323, young pilots from Chryse Guard Security mutinied against the adults who mistreated them and created the new organization Tekkadan under the leadership of Orga Itsuka. The upstart organization initially tangled with Naze Turbine of Teiwaz, but the situation resolved with Tekkadan officially joining Teiwaz. At the Teiwaz conglomerate’s massive command ship Saisei, engineers used archival mobile suit data and overhauled the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos (3rd Form) into the 4th Form, which restored the Gundam to its original appearance from the Calamity War. Additionally, the Gundam’s weight balance was adjusted and its Ahab reactor output was improved. The 4th Form retained the mace and 300mm smoothbore gun used by the 3rd Form, but it dropped the GR-Es02 wire claw. It also featured a new long sword. During the journey to Earth, the suit was upgraded once again to the 5th Form.
