During the military and political chaos occurring in AC 195, pilot Trowa Barton was forced to abandon his XXXG-01H Gundam Heavyarms mobile suit, leaving it behind on Earth when he went back out into space. Over the next few months, the abandoned Heavyarms found its way into the care of guerilla rebel Sally Po. Sally, realizing the chaos would be concluded in space and that the infamous Gundam pilots would be at the center of it, later went into space herself, took the Gundam with her to return it to its pilot. Aboard the independent battleship Peacemillion, Gundam supporter Howard upgraded the ground-pounding Heavyarms, outfitting it to fight in space. Though the improvements made to the Gundam Heavyarms Custom appeared minor, they gave the mobile suit the edge it needed to deliver its firepower against the space-bound forces of White Fang’s WF-02MD Virgo II mobile dolls and the mobile suits of the World Nation military. The addition of several vernier thrusters gave the Heavyarms stability in a zero-gee environment, and its new double beam Gatling gun increased its primary firepower to an even more devastating level. The Heavyarms Custom later carried a pair of smaller, double-barreled shell-firing Gatling guns, allowing it to split its devastating firepower up and tackle more targets at once. Following the defeat of the Mariemaia Army in AC 196, Trowa joined the other Gundam pilots in self-destructing his own suit after its mission was fulfilled.
