The Over Flags is a sub-faction of the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations introduced in season 1 of Mobile Suit Gundam 00.

Overview[]

The Over Flags is the official title of the Anti-Gundam Investigative Taskforce, it is also known on the surface as 8th Independent Tactical Air Squadron. It is a team made up of researchers and elite pilots from the Union of Solar Energy and Free Nations, assembled for the purpose of defeating, capturing, and analyzing the Gundams of Celestial Being. The team is led by Union ace pilot Graham Aker for military missions and Professor Ralph Eifman for research and development. The team is named after its main stay mobile suit the SVMS-01O Over Flag. The team’s headquarters is the MSWAD base.

History[]

The Over Flags Squadron was formed in 2307 A.D. in response to the Armed Interventions performed by Celestial Being. Led by Graham Aker and spearheaded by Professor Eifman, Over Flags was composed of top ace pilots handpicked across the Union and assigned custom tooled SVMS-01O Over Flag for operations. Since the custom Over Flag is a variant of the standard SVMS-01 Union Flag, their pilots are still known as "Flag Fighters" like the pilots of the regular Union Flag. The Over Flags' first major mission was the joint military operation in the Taklamakan Desert, where their objective was to capture the GN-002 Gundam Dynames. While they suffered their first casualty, Joshua Edwards, who had recklessly rushed the Gundam, the Over Flags accomplished their objective and disabled the mobile suit. However, the intervention by Team Trinity turned the battle against them as the outclassed mobile suits lost more pilots and were forced to withdraw in defeat. Soon afterward, Over Flags suffered additional losses in a subsequent intervention by Trinity, losing Warrant Officer Mason and more significantly, Professor Eifman. With significant losses in personnel and transfers to the new GN-X mobile suit squad, the Over Flags ostensibly disbanded.

Legacy[]

In 2314 A.D., Graham led a new team of pilots called the Solbraves, whose mobile suits are the GNX-903VS Brave (Standard Test Type) and Graham's GNX-903VW Brave (Commander Test Type). Like the Over Flags, the Solbraves are named after the mobile suits they are using.
