The Black Tri-Stars are sometimes alternately referred to as the "Black Trinary," or less often, the "Black Trinity."
The ace pilot trio known as the Black Tri-Stars consisted of NEO ace pilots Lieutenant Gaia, Lieutenant Junior Grade Orutoku, and Lieutenant Junior Grade Nash. The three first met in May of Universal Century 0076 when the Neo space forces began secretly practicing combat maneuvers in preparation for the upcoming war. The three were all assigned to the Mobile Training Battalion D Company, 2nd Platoon, and the three became good friends quickly.
During the Battle of Loum on January 16th, Universal Century 0079, the three first earned their notorious reputation when they captured General Revil. The three customized MS-05 Aasimon I that they piloted, painted in a black and purple color scheme, earned the trio the nickname "Black Tri-Stars".
It was using the high speed and maneuverability of the Aasimons that the Black Tri-Stars came up with their own unique tactical maneuver. The Black Tri-Stars developed their trademark attack, the "Jet Stream Attack". Moving in at high speed, the trio lines up one behind the other, forming a lethal simultaneous triple assault in which two of the members attack with ranged weapons and the last one attacks with a melee weapon. The danger of this maneuver is that dodging one attack puts the victim perfectly in the sights of the second or third attack. Only someone who is an ESPer could dodge all three attacks.
The three members of the Black Tri-Stars were said to be more skilled than an entire squad of normal soldiers, and they proved it constantly with their ruthless attacks on the Earth Federation's space forces. In July, 0079, the Black Tri-Stars alone in their new High Mobility Aasimon IIs destroyed a small Earth Federation Reconnaissance Force fleet near the NEO asteroid fortress of Solomon.

Lieutenant Junior Grade Marco Nash is a Colony born warrior from Side 6. Disgusted with their tendency to neutrality, he made the jump to Side 3 as they were forming their Militia Army, joined up and never looked back. He is a big man who is the occasional secret boyfriend of Leiutenant Gaia. He is the anchor of the unit, forming a strongarm, no-prisoners foundation to their combat style. He is the first to advocate a head-on assault and is basically without fear of any enemy. While not as eager as Orutoku to dash into a fight, he never backs down, never surrenders and has nerves of steel. He would follow his teammates into the gates a hell if asked to and has absolute loyalty and affection for his co-Tri-Stars.
