Story & Background: The RX-78GP03S Gundam GP03S "Stamen" is the third mobile suit in the Gundam Development Project and is equipped with advanced weaponry and high mobility for space combat. Piloted by Kou Uraki, the GP03S is the core unit of the Dendrobium Orchis, a massive mobile armor that acts as a weapons platform for the Gundam. The GP03S can operate independently for high-speed engagements and, when docked with the Orchis, transforms into a heavily armed, long-range assault unit. The GP03S plays a pivotal role in the final stages of the Stardust Memory storyline, as it faces off against Zeon remnants during Operation Stardust.
