Technical
and Historical Notes
During
the Anti-Earth Union Group's uprising against the Earth Federation
Forces' corrupt Titans force, civlian contractor Anaheim Electronics
found itself caught in the middle, despite the fact that the
company was a secret AEUG supporter. One of the mobile suit
designs developed by Anaheim for the AEUG was the RMS-108 Marasai,
based partially on the Federation's successful mass production
RMS-106 Hizack unit. However, Anaheim
soon found itself under the scrutiny of the Titans, and Anaheim
provided the Marasai design to the Titans in a gesture of goodwill
(and to keep the Titans from taking action against them for
their support of the AEUG). The Marasai, though in many ways
similar to the Hizack, was a big
step up in terms of abilities and performance. Mounting the
latest gundarium armor and equipped with a higher-output generator,
the Marasai was capable of using beam weapons, and was slightly
better in terms of speed and maneuverability. The Marasai, like
its Hizack predecessor, was easy
to pilot and maintain, and it saw heavy mass production during
the Gryps Conflict.
