The Black Tri-Stars (黒い三連星, Kuroi Sanresei) are a trio of pilots famous for their custom painted Mobile Suits and their infamous formation, the Jet Stream Attack. The members are Gaia (ガイア), Mash (マッシュ), and Ortega (オルテガ); Gaia is designated as their leader. He leads the Jet Stream Attack, and Mash follows close behind him. If someone happens to dodge the first two, then Ortega can shoot them down. Known as top classed fighters in their own right, they are a feared name with the Federation troops.
