Appearing in the final portion of the One Year War, the RGM-79C GM Kai was an improved version of one of the Earth Federation's first mass production mobile suit, the RGM-79[E]
GM Precession Type. Though it was similar to the
original GM Precession Type in its armament
and abilities, it did feature greatly improved thruster acceleration
and maneuverability. The "C-type" GM would remain the standard
mass-production frontline unit for the Federation until the introduction of the RMS-179/RGM-79R
GM II several years later.
