Biography
Ericht was at the Vanadis facility when Dominicus attacked. Elnora saved her, and in the aftermath Ericht became part of the Aerial’s system—allowing the mobile suit to operate without harming the pilot. Suletta was raised as her sister and pilot of Aerial; the truth about Ericht and Aerial drives Prospera’s plan and the resolution between Suletta, Miorine, and Prospera.
