History

The location of the Gundam Astaroth Origin after the end of the Calamity War was initially unknown, it was later found at the bottom of a large crater by the Warren family, one of the Seven Stars of Gjallarhorn, who were at that time tasked to investigate the site of a fierce battle on the moon's surface. The Gundam was then passed down the generations in the family. However, several years ago, the Warrens were hit by a scandal involving illicit dealings with one of the economic blocs, and their financial situation worsened. Hence, they decided to sell the Gundam's armor and equipment on the underground market. Its frame later fell into the hands of Daddy Ted on the Avalanche Colony, and the Gundam was eventually outfitted into the current ASW-G-29 Gundam Astaroth.
