Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash
Encyclopedia
Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway's Flash was a series of three Gundam
novels written by Gundam-creator Yoshiyuki Tomino
from February 1989 to May 1990. They chronicle the later life of Hathaway Noa
, the son of Bright Noa
, twelve years after the events of the second Neo Zeon movement as seen in Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Counterattack
. The novel featured four new mobile suit designs by Moriki Yasuhiro, the mechanical designer of Hades Project Zeorymer
.
In Hathaway's Flash, Hathaway Noa is still haunted by his past actions (not to mention the spirit of deceased Newtype Quess Paraya), joins a terrorist organization called Mafty and adopts the false name "Mafty Navue Erin". The organization Mafty is fighting a terrorist campaign against the Earth Federation government, and they are eventually able to acquire the incredibly powerful prototype Ξ Gundam, which Hathaway becomes the pilot of. Using the Ξ Gundam Mafty attempts to attack a meeting of high-ranking Federation cabinet members in Adelaide, Australia
to force them to vote down a provision which would strengthen the Federations already considerable powers.
As a point to note, this novel focuses on a version of events chronicled in creator Yoshiyuki Tomino's novelized form of Char's Counterattack, rather than his animated movie version.
