Hathaway later gave himself a new identity, Mafty Navue Erin, and piloted his own advanced Gundam to attack the Federation. He joined a anti-Federation crew called Mafty and the group caused trouble to the Federation controlled colonies. It was a ironic life-decision as his father, Bright Noa, was a dedicated Federation officer and was obligated to arrest and prosecute Mafty.

It was only then, in his final moments of life that he realized his actions in her name had always been in vain.
