Built after Celestial Being's defeat in AD 2308 by the Innovades who called themselves Innovators, the GNY-004FB Gundam Plutone Black serves as a reference for the new mobile suits they are developing. Besides Plutone Black, the Innovators also produce five other machines for data collection purposes. Like the other five machines, the Plutone Black is created using data stored in Veda and is a replica of another machine, in its case, the GNY-004 Gundam Plutone used by Celestial Being's support group, Fereshte.

However, the Plutone Black differs from the original Plutone in several ways; aside from the new predominately black color scheme, its power source is changed to the GN Drive Tau (though it still retained the original's GN Drive cover) and thus has a limited operating time. Additionally, it can generate a stable GN Field unlike the original, making it the sole Innovator replica machine to have an improved feature over the original. As a result, it is suspect if Plutone Black retains the GN Composite Armor, which was the original Plutone's backup plan for the unstable GN Field.
