As the war with the Moonrace began in CC 2345, Inglessa leader Guin Sard Rhineford directed miner Sid Munzer to excavate the mountain cycles for mobile suits, a search that yielded the AMX-109 Kapool. Also, in the neighboring Luziana fiefdom, the ruling Borjarno family was doing the same and uncovered two types of mobile suits: the MS-06 Borjarnon and the MS-05 Gavane’s Borjarnon. However, the search for mobile suits was also conducted by individual civilians. One such suit, the SPA-51 Cannon Illefuto, was discovered by Will Game in a dried up riverbed. In this same area he also discovered a fully intact spaceship that was later named after him, the Willghem. For an ancient suit, the Cannon Illefuto carried a surprisingly powerful laser cannon mounted over the right arm. While Loran Cehack tried to convince Will to join the Earth Militia, Moonrace assassin Teteth Halleh convinced Will to join with Dianna Counter instead. Placed under the command of Poe Aijee, Will first took his Cannon Illefuto into battle against the Luziana Militia’s Borjarnons. As an inexperienced pilot, Will was no match for his enemies and died in his first sortie.
