anime TV seriesMobile Suit Gundam .Matilda Ajan was the commanding officer of the Earth Federation's "Medea" supply corps. At times Matilda also served as a personal envoy for
General Revil , carrying messages and orders from him to other ships. When the "White Base " was trapped in Zeon-controlled airspace over North America it was the vital supplies delivered by the "Medea" supply corps which allowed the beleaguered assault carrier to make desperately needed repairs and escape over thePacific Ocean .Due to her habits of showing up when the "White Base" was in a bind and helping them in whatever way she could, Miss Matilda was looked to as the guardian angel of the vessel. Also due to her stunning beauty she became the dream girl of many of the young male crew members staffing the "White Base", especially the young
Amuro Ray . Miss Matilda was engaged to Lieutenant Woody Malden, who was a chief military engineer stationed in the Earth Federation headquarters of Jaburo.When the ship reached Asia, Miss Matilda gave the "White Base" orders to head to Ukraine to take part in Operation Odessa, a large-scale military operation to wrest control of the mining facilities at Odessa away from the Principality of Zeon. However, on route to participate in the battle the "White Base" was attacked by the Zeon ace pilot trio, the
Black Tri-Stars . In order to protect the "White Base", Matilda rammed her "Medea" into one of the Black Tri-Stars' Doms, in an attempt to knock it down. But Dom pilot Ortega hit back, smashing the "Media"'s cockpit, and the transporter crashed to the ground exploding. Ensign Matilda Ajan was killed in action on November 6, U.C.0079. Later, Amuro meets Matilda's fiance, Lieutenant Woody, in Jaburo and apologizes for not being able to protect Matilda, but Woody forgives him since it was war and she died doing what she loved the most, protecting her friends.
