The System-∀99 (WD-M01) ∀ Gundam (also known as "Turn A") was first discovered in CC 2345 when the Moonrace's Dianna Counter army arrived on Earth and attacked the city of Nocis; at that time the city was holding a Coming of Age ceremony for Loran Cehack and Sochie Heim where they danced and offered prayers in front of the "White Doll" statue. When the Moonrace forces attacked the "White Doll" statue crumbled revealing the Turn A. When Loran and Sochie took shelter inside the cockpit, it activated and automatically fired at the Moonrace forces (who were unaware of any mobile suits on Earth). After several battles with the Moonrace armies, the Turn A became the symbol and main military might in the struggle to resist the Moonrace's attempts at colonizing Earth.

The Turn A's main propulsion was provided by an I-field Beam Drive System, which left the suit completely hollow and allowed it to be filled with extra armaments and rocket thrusters. Standard armament consisted of two beam sabers and a beam rifle. The Turn A was even equipped with an anti-nuclear weapon barrier protecting it from nuclear weapons. [link]

History

After accompanying the Willgem to the Moon, Loran finally learned the dark truth about the Turn A's past, that the Turn A had been responsible for the destruction of Earth's history by unleashing its "Moonlight Butterfly" attack spreading nanomachines across the Earth's surface and turning all technology into sand. After learning of this truth Loran also discovered several features of the Turn A that he was unaware of, most notably that the cockpit was a Core Fighter capable of separating from the Turn A; also Loran discovered the ability to make the Turn A vanish from sight by means unknown. During the Turn A's final battle with the Turn X, both machines unleashed their Moonlight Butterfly systems at one another; Loran escaped unharmed, but both machines were encased in a large cocoon - along with the pilot of the Turn X, Gym Ghingnham.
