Mace Flower

Mace Flower (メイス・フラゥワー, Meisu Furauwā) was a senior pilot in the anti-Earth Federation movement led by Mafty Navue Erin. Operating a customised Messer Type-F01 during UC 0105, she provided experienced support for Hathaway Noa’s operations.

Biography

Mace Flower brought veteran Messer tactics to Mafty’s UC 0105 uprising, guiding Hathaway Noa’s raids from covert reconnaissance to diversionary strikes against the Earth Federation.

Mace Flower was recruited into Mafty for her combat experience and ability to fly cutting-edge mobile suits under stealth conditions. Having served as a mercenary pilot in conflicts across the Earth Sphere, she shared Mafty’s belief that the Earth Federation’s repeated environmental abuses and political corruption demanded radical corrective action. Her familiarity with Federation doctrine made her a valuable adviser when the organisation plotted raids against high-profile government targets.

Messer deployment

Assigned to a Messer Type-F01, Mace accompanied Gawman Nobil and other Mafty pilots during the coastal raids that opened Hathaway’s campaign. Her Messer featured improved Minovsky flight systems that allowed short bursts of atmospheric flight – capabilities she exploited during hit-and-run strikes on Federation convoys.

Davao Air Base infiltration

When the Circe Unit tightened its grip on Mindanao, Mace was tasked with reconnaissance flights around Davao Air Base. She provided Hathaway with real-time data on Colonel Kenneth Sleg’s defensive preparations, guiding the Ξ Gundam’s low-altitude approach that enabled Mafty to strike without alerting the base’s radar net.

Adelaide operation

During the attempted atmospheric re-entry over Adelaide, Mace coordinated diversionary manoeuvres intended to draw the Circe Unit away from Hathaway’s Ξ Gundam. Although the plan ultimately failed due to the Federation’s beam barrier trap, her commitment to the mission underscored Mafty’s willingness to risk seasoned operatives in pursuit of political spectacle.

Personality & traits

Mace’s calm under pressure and blunt conversation style embodied the pragmatic streak within Mafty during the Mafty Uprising in UC 0105.

Mace recognised Hathaway’s idealism but tempered it with practical advice, urging caution whenever the organisation’s plans drifted towards spectacle at the expense of strategic gain. Her quiet loyalty offered a grounding influence amid Mafty’s younger, more impulsive pilots. Mace’s veteran experience and pragmatic approach made her a valuable voice of reason within the organisation.

Skills & abilities

Mace’s expertise in atmospheric mobile suit combat, reconnaissance, and tactical analysis made her a valuable asset to Mafty during the Mafty Uprising.

Mace excelled at atmospheric mobile suit combat, using the Messer’s partial flight capability to stage low-altitude ambushes and provide air cover during maritime raids. Her reconnaissance work made her adept at penetrating Federation surveillance grids and relaying actionable intelligence to Mafty’s command staff. Mace also contributed detailed after-action analyses that helped Hathaway refine operations following the Haunzen hijacking and the Davao assault.
