Just seems like too good an opportunity to miss. and perhaps this Char Clone will be the titular Witch. Or even, the main character could become a Char Clone over the course of the story before gaining said moniker.

A poster on mechatalk.net noticed the ShoutOut in the title, and posted the following synopsis:
->Red Witch of Mercury is a story of intrigue, crime and corruption. It’s a solid thriller, through and through. Mercury may be on the brink or civil war. A handful of Earthnoid interests control over half of the resources on the small world, including the lucrative wine trade. There is some resentment among the Mercurian populace, but the Earth government has just granted the Mercurian people a new degree of freedom and self-governance. Though revolution could wreck the advancements the Mercurians have made towards independence, rumors are circulating that the Mercurian Patriot movement may still consider violent insurrection to drive the trusts off once and for all. With the coming of the Festival of Rains, a celebration of the union of the rain god Nemi and his bride the soil which “would make a Roman Orgy look like a Sunday School picnic”, there’s fear that the streets could explode in riots at a moment’s notice.

[[WMG: General series guesses.]]
My general guess for the series is that it focuses on an IndustrializedMercury and that humanity is fully in the process of building a [[https://youtu.be/pP44EPBMb8A Dyson Swarm]]. The main character is the daughter of some of the managers present, living in a small colony on the planet. A big part of the conflict then perhaps is centered around the fact that despite humanity having practically infinite energy, those on Earth still hoard it all to themselves leading to resentment and rebellion.
The lead Gundam is part of this and is specifically designed to be able to siphon energy directly from this Dyson system making it incredibly powerful.
