Tekkadan, the twenty-fifth episode of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans season 1, depicts Tekkadan's journey to the Dort Colonies to deliver an important cargo. Mikazuki, Akihiro, and Ride deliver the cargo to Dort 2, which is a military colony. Upon delivering the cargo, they found out that the client has betrayed them. The client was planning on selling the treasure they had acquired to other customers as well, which would have put Tekkadan in a dangerous position. Tekkadan then makes a strategic move to get back the treasure they had delivered to the clients by attacking their private forces.
Meanwhile, the attempt of the Earth Alliance to exterminate the Tekkadan organization is still active. Fighting against this extermination attempt, Kudelia and Tekkadan asks for assistance from Teiwaz to be able to gain access to the Dort Colonies. Once they arrive at Dort 3, they were surprised to find out that the location is in a state of emergency. This is because the colony was also under attack by Gjallarhorn, who is an organization that opposes Tekkadan. Gjallarhorn's objective is to capture Kudelia and stop her from delivering her message to the Dort Colonies.
During the assault, Naze and his comrades from Teiwaz were able to prevent Gjallarhorn from capturing Kudelia. They were able to do so by working together with Atra, who used the distraction to activate the Trojan Horse on Tekkadan's transportation ship. The Trojan Horse prevented Gjallarhorn's forces from tracking the ship while they were escaping.
Tekkadan is in high spirits after successfully performing their mission. However, their happiness was short-lived as they realized that they might have crossed the line by getting involved in different factions' wars. They became concerned about their own position as they realized that their decisions may have consequences for their reputation in the space.
The situation becomes more complicated when Tekkadan arrives at Dort 2, where they were ambushed by the military forces. The military forces sent by the client they were delivering the treasure to, had planned to attack Tekkadan as they took back their treasure.
The Tekkadan members were able to fight them off while also taking two hostages in the process. Eventually, they reveal that the two hostages were the younger brother and younger sister of the leader of the military forces they were fighting. The Tekkadan members begin to doubt if they should be taking innocent civilians hostage in their quests for revenge and power.
Tekkadan's actions come at a personal cost for Orga, as the deadline for the destruction of Tekkadan is now within a week and the Earth Alliance force is approaching. To make matters worse, the military forces they robbed in Dort 2 are actively seeking retaliation.
As the first season of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans approaches its conclusion, Tekkadan finds themselves pushed to the limit. They are forced to make decisions that could have a significant impact on their future.
