As
the One Year War continued in UC 0079, the idea of Newtypes
became widespread. Some feared Newtypes, including Zeon scientist
Chlust Morses, who believed that Newtypes would eventually dominate
Oldtypes. He put all of his hatred of Newtypes into the EXAM
combat system, along with the soul of Newtype Marion Welch.
The EXAM system allowed for incredible performance, but it was
extremely unstable. Since it was controlled by the tormented
soul of Marion, it would sometimes go out of control and attack
allies, or refuse to move. After developing the EXAM system
for use in the MS-08TX(EXAM) Efreet Custom, Morses defected
to the Federation and gave them the EXAM system.
