Aiguille Delaz (Japanese: エギーユ・デラーズ) is a fictional character from the anime series Gundam 0083.
[edit] Story
Among the many high-ranking officers in the Zeon military, Delaz is the most loyal subordinate to Gihren Zabi. As an Admiral of a space battle fleet (later known collectively as Delaz Fleet, its forces consist of the Gwazine-class battleship Gwaden, roughly a dozen Musai-class cruisers, several dozen mobile suits, and assorted supply ships and cargo transporters ) during the One-Year War, Delaz chose to withdraw from the final battle at A Baoa Qu, forfeiting that hopeless fight in order to strike back at the Earth Federation later on. At his makeshift headquarters, the Garden of Thorns, in a debris-strewn shoal zone, Delaz has spent three years gathering his forces for the master plan he calls Operation Stardust, which was duly commenced in UC 0083.
Stardust coupled asymmetrical tactical complexity with colllusion from many Zeon-friendly contacts made in the civilian and commercial hierarchies. Combined, these factors allowed Delaz to achieve an immense military and propaganda victory with remnant forces a small fraction of the size of the Zeon fleet.
Delaz's most trusted underling is Anavel Gato, a Zeon ace from the One-Year War. In the intervening years before the launch of Operation Stardust, Delaz firmly imparted upon Gato his fanaticism toward the ideals of Zeon Zum Deikun.
