Description
Arlette Armaju, also known as Arlette Almage, cultivated an early aptitude for machinery handling. This interest guided her to formal mobile suit maintenance training at the Flanagan Institute, where her exceptional technical skills and high academic performance caught the attention of Char Aznable.

She served the Principality of Zeon as a mobile weapons engineer throughout the One Year War. Following the Battle of A Baoa Qu, she relocated to the asteroid base Axis, continuing her engineering work and contributing to Neo Zeon's mobile suit development. After the Second Neo Zeon War concluded, she entered hiding in Side 6 alongside former test pilot Danton Hyleg.

Years later, during Universal Century 0096, Arlette joined the Earth Federation's "Mastema" special operations unit under Lieutenant JG Mehmet Merca. This assignment investigated psycho-frame research within the Axis debris field. Officially part of the expedition, her participation concealed a personal objective: uncovering information about Char Aznable's ultimate fate.

During the Axis investigation, the Mastema team encountered hostile forces from the private militia Birnam. Arlette engaged in combat, applying her engineering expertise to pilot the red AMX-011S Zaku III Custom – a mobile suit she previously helped develop for Zeon. Her actions, driven by her unresolved connection to Char, led her towards the wreckage of the Sazabi mobile suit within the ruins.

She later piloted the AMA-X4 Ahava Azieru mobile suit in these confrontations, further demonstrating her technical proficiency in combat. Her journey centered on reconciling her past with Zeon and seeking answers about Char Aznable, directly utilizing her engineering background in active combat situations.
