[Location: Torrington Base, U.C 0096]

The events of the Second Neo Zeon War and predominantly the near fall of Axis at the hands of Char Aznable kicked off the UC Project. The core of the program revolved around the use of Psycho-Frame technology for the sinister goal of wiping out all traces of Zeon influence (including the Newtype myth), and rebuild order in the Earth Sphere. For this purpose, Anaheim Electronics and the Vist Foundation aided the Earth Federation in the creation of the RX-0 series.... The Unicorn Gundams.

Among them was the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam 02 Banshee. The Banshee was the brother unit of the Unicorn Gundam, and was sent to Earth for gravity testing after its space testing was completed, arriving in Torrington Base roughly four months ago]
