During the conflict in AC 195 that became known as the Eve Wars, nothing was more feared than the Gundams. The Romefeller Foundation, in its pursuit of new weapons that would allow them to dominate the war and the Earth, turned to their arch-enemies for inspiration. In secret, they constructed new mass production Gundams, each based specifically on one of the five rebel Gundams. The XXXG-00W0S Wing Gundam Seraphim, based off of the XXXG-00W0 Wing Gundam Zero, was intended to be a general purpose machine. Other than cosmetic changes, the biggest difference between Seraphim and Zero was that the shield-like main wings are moved from the back to the skirt armor, allowing Seraphim to fly in the atmosphere. Its weapons loadout was basic but functional, with two beam sabers and a buster rifle capable of high output. The most important feature, however, was an improved version of the Zero System. Codenamed Zero 2.5, this system provided much better technical data and information, but had the drawback of taking control of the mobile suit sometimes when activated. It should be noted, however, that Zero 2.5 lacked the mental effects which its predecessors possessed. At least six Wing Seraphim units were produced at Romefeller’s secret plant on Colony X-18722, but with the end of the Eve Wars shortly thereafter, they never saw action. The following January, a group of civilians broke into the plant and stole several Gundams. Tiel Noembreux, the leader of the expedition, stole a Wing Seraphim for herself, hoping to use Zero 2.5 to locate her missing brother. Because information on this incident was not well-reported, the fate of the Seraphims, including Tiel’s stolen unit, was unknown.
