Read more about Bright Noa at: Wikipedia Official Site: Sunrise is a fictional character from the Japanese science fiction anime television series Mobile Suit Gundam and the related films. In the anime, he is only mentioned as Earth-born. In the beginning of Mobile Suit Gundam, Bright Noa is just an officer candidate without a commission from the Earth Federation Space Forces, but he takes command as the surviving highest rank of military personnel. Bright's commands include the White Base, the shuttle Temptation, AEUG's Argama and Nahel Argama, and Londo Bell's Ra Cailum. During the One Year War, Bright Noa serves on the White Base as the commanding officer. When Char Aznable attacks the colony, Side 7, all the officers on the White Base are incapacitated, leaving Bright, who is then an ensign, with the highest seniority on the ship, and he assumes command from the wounded Captain Paolo Cassius. The Federation's major perceived value for the White Base turns out to be the Zeon's obsessive attraction to it. The ship becomes a major decoy in Federation operations. Bright remains captain of the White Base throughout these events in Mobile Suit Gundam, participating in the major operations in The One Year War, including the last stand of Zeon at asteroid A Baoa Qu, where the White Base is destroyed. After the One Year War, Bright, like most of his comrades aboard White Base, was alienated by the High Command of the Earth Federal Space Forces. He was assigned to captain the shuttle spacecraft Temptation, whose primary missions were to escort Federation high-ranking officials, and was even beaten up by Bask Om himself when he objected to a set of orders coming from him.
