Technology & Combat Characteristics

As part of his plan to create a Gundam Meister team consisting solely of Innovades, Beside Pain proposed to Veda the mass production of his CB-001.5 1.5 Gundam in the form of 1.5 Gundam Type Dark. The 1.5 Gundam Type Dark is identical in all aspects to the 1.5 Gundam except for its colors; the red and black color scheme is meant to serve as psychological intimidation during armed interventions.

Ribbons Almark, Beside Pain's rival, who was in possession of Veda then came to know of 1.5 Gundam Type Dark and concurred that it was indeed an excellent unit. Ribbons even toyed with the idea of producing the 1.5 Gundam Type Dark for his Innovade comrades, despite them already using the GNZ Series. He was certain they would accomplish great things with the mobile suit. However, due to the Celestial Being's factory being used to mass-produce the GNZ-004 Gaga, the Type Dark was never manufactured. Thus, it became a phantom machine.

History

After the creation of the CB-001.5 1.5 Gundam, Beside Pain suggested to Veda to put the mobile suit into mass production as 1.5 Gundam Type Dark for Innovades' use in armed interventions. Through Veda, Ribbons Almark knew about the plan and although he looked down on Beside, he acknowledged the Type Dark as an excellent machine.

He then imagined that if his six Innovades comrades (some were already dead by this point, but Ribbons did not let this fact get in the way of his imagination) were to pilot this machine, while he leads them with the CB-0000G/C Reborns Gundam, they would be able to achieve stunning results and manage the human race by armed force. In his view, among the six comrades, the pair of quiet but reliable pilots, Bring Stabity and Divine Nova would be the most terrifying to the humans if they were to pilot the Type Dark. Thanks to being made from identical DNA base sequence, Bring and Devine could cooperate seamlessly in battle. Alternatively, the two could also use their Type Dark to lead the GNZ-004 Gagas. As his fantasizing came to an end, he found it to be quite perfect if it could be implemented.

Ribbons praised Beside for coming up with a brilliant machine, but he still planned on killing Beside once his usefulness ran out. Although the Celestial Being's factory was currently in the midst of mass producing the Gagas, Ribbons toyed with the idea of reserve some space to produce the Type Dark. However, the plan does not seem to be realized, as there was no record of 1.5 Gundam Type Dark being produced.
