BB Senshi Sangokuden (BB戦士 三国伝, BB Warrior Romance Of The Three Kingdoms) is a series in the SD Gundam franchise from 2007 and the 18th work in the Musha Gundam series. The story and characters are modeled after those featured in the classic 14th century Chinese novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms by Luo Guanzhong, though story elements and the names of the Three Kingdoms themselves are fictionalized.
