Technical
and Historical Notes
Although
the Anti-Earth Union Group had, through one means or another,
acquired many RMS-179/RGM-79R GM IIs to fill
its frontline ranks, its leaders wanted a mass production unit
of their own that could beat the Titans' and Earth Federation's
GM IIs. Anaheim Electronics delivered
on the concept, producing the MSA-003 Nemo which, although closely
based on the GM II, was far better
in performance in terms of generator power, thruster acceleration
and maneuverability. To help keep its cost down, the Nemo used
many weapons already employed by other existing mobile suits,
such as the RMS-099 Rick Dias' beam
saber and the GM II's beam rifle.
With its first deployment, the Nemo easily supplemented the
GM II as the mainstay of its mobile
suit forces.
