Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory - The Mayfly of Space

Synopsis

In the short piece "Mayfly," Cima's backstory is explored through flashbacks as she contemplates her past before the events of Episode 13. It shows that Cima and her unit were ordered to release G-3 nerve gas into a Side 5 colony, but after committing this atrocity, they were shunned and ostracized by their own people. At the war's conclusion, her superior officer denied her permission to retreat to Axis. With their home colony, Mahal, turned into a weapon, Cima and her soldiers were left without a place to go and stranded.
