History of the Black Tri Stars [Gundam Lore]

[@whitekong1033]

I'd love to see the Gundam UC timeline explore more of that crossover with the Zeon scientists working for Anaheim after the One Year War. I mean, we see some of the effects of it with Feddie mobile suits getting mono-eye cameras, psy-commu being added, and even the Psychoframe technology all coming from Zeon research and development.

I know it's been two years since the video, but the big clue to the Jesta mystery is the name "Londo Bell." You're an ex Zeon from the OYW, who, due to your knowledge and experience, becomes one of the early leaders of AEUG. Do you start from scratch when designing all of AEUG's tactics, or do you reuse some of Zeon's old military doctrine that you know works? You go with the latter because it's more pragmatic to do so, especially when the Titans are an immediate threat. You really don't have time to rewrite the rule book. So that Zeon doctrine becomes AEUG doctrine, and when AEUG are folded into the EF and become Londo Bell, it becomes Londo Bell doctrine. The Zeon Black Tristars and the Londo Bell Tristars in Unicorn; they're one in the same.

TRI Stars, liked so much they get cameo'd in most every other Gundam timeline

In the military, people leave but units continue on. Some Units hold some individuals into such high regard that they become symbols. Like for example. I was part of a unit that was called Main’s own after one of the members during the Korean War. As a lot of zeon was folded into the federation it’s only natural that some units were transferred over. Like when East and West Germany reunified. And those units keep a lot of traditions and lineages no matter where they go. It’s possible that the Black tristars in Lando Bell are simply a subordinate unit of a brigade, regiment, battalion or even a company that was the higher echelon of the Black tristars when they were part of zeon during the OYW. It’s also possible that the UNicorn tristars were inspired by the tristars of zeon. Maybe the current commander or even the founder that christened his unit the black tristars in the federation was related to, trained by, or even a member of the older black tristar team.

[@andagean]

wonderfully put, and real life correlation. I swear I saw somewhere on the wiki or a quote from a guide that is just that. the Londo Bell Tristars were inspired possibly because of the unit they were put into, and makes sense with the black mobile suits.

In thunderbolt , tri star use a custom psycho zaku

[@joncandib1721]

1 My favorite Mobile Machines that the Black Tri Stars piloted are Mobile Worker 01, Zaku 1, Zaku 2 High Mobility Space type, and Doms. 2 My favorite part they did the Jet stream attack on the Gundam. 3 They may have been rude, but they were heroes to Zeon's to the end.

[@santobell]

If you want to see the canon, start of mobile suits in UC. You should read the Developers manga . It's a great read and not too long.

[@GundamExplained]

Very cool, I'll check that out.

[@LucLightWolf121]

All I can say about these three is that I am glad Amuro Ray took care of them after what they did to Matilda. I do find it very interesting that they were the founding member Mobile Suit pilots along with Ramba Ral as seen in MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: THE ORIGIN.

[@ZeonicFenrir]

Being fair, it was Matilda's fault for throwing a cargo plane at a MS, not much different from Garma's suicide run against White Base in my opinion.

[@LucLightWolf121]

@@ZeonicFenrir Or Woody using his transport against Char's Z'Gok in Jaburo. Fair point.

[@ZeonicFenrir]

@@LucLightWolf121 Indeed, Conscon trying to ram his Chivvay also comes to mind. Off the top of my head, the only successful suicide run of that type is the Reinforce Jr's, though admittedly it was for plot reasons given that a couple dozen MS and an entire fleet are all shooting at them for a while without sinking them: kzbin.info/www/bejne/poHXoZ6Jj9OUf7c

[@MrStarbit]

Late to the party but my stab at the mystery of the two different tri star teams. My guess is that they're not related and are named after the fact that both teams are lead by three star (tri star) lieutenants

[@Lord_RavnFar_Tannerwise]

You forgot. The Seed Destiny alternate universe version of the black tristars

[@chisunpong]

i don't see any affiliation between the zeon black tristar and the londo bell units. all three of the zeon black tristar pilots were killed by amuro.

[@dr.jimeagleii4108]

Man I thought the “jet stream attack” what where they lined up behind one another to throw the enemies reaction off

[@kirkbrownell1556]

it is lol

[@averyangrycrow4936]

We actually see a successful version of the jet stream attack during the assault of Torrington. We see a guncannon detector get absolutely obliterated by a dwadge, a Dom tropen, a desert Dom, and a desert zaku we know that the londo tri stars themselves have no real connection with zeon because their reactions to seeing the older suits is one of disgust (that doesn’t mean the units name doesn’t derive from the BTS though, bright may have wanted to revive the name for some reason)

[@sithsim7760]

Are there other tams/units like the black tri stars?

[@88laserbeam]

Love the MS-09R

[@luciusmaximuuus4406]

Si el video es de gundam, entonces es un video que debo ver si o si

[@Hchris101]

I like the robots

[@giosue_222]

Three veterans trained in everything in advanced MS with a beautiful livery defeated by a kid, what a waste

[@ShahAznable]

Ah yes the BTS
