It's from the Gundam F90 manga, but several key incidents are cited in the
Shindosha timeline that Mark Simmons considers canonical enough to quote on his
Gundam Project. Here are the relevant timeline entries:

UC 0120.10.25
The Jupitoris-class transport ship Kobayashi Maru is attacked by a mysterious
mobile suit force.

UC 0120.10.28
During a test flight in the Side 4 area, one of the Gundam F90 prototypes is
stolen by the Zeon remnants known as "Oldsmobile."

UC 0120.10.30
The 13th Independent Mobile Fleet is given the special assignments of mopping up
Oldsmobile and recovering the F90.

UC 0121.03
The 13th Independent Mobile Fleet reaches Mars. Oldsmobile's Martian base,
Olympus Cannon, is destroyed after firing. The stolen Gundam F90 unit 2 is
recovered.
