Technical
and Historical Notes
Following
the Earth Federation Forces' battle with the Mars Zeon Oldsmobile
Army in UC 0120, the remains of the stolen-and-refurbished OMS-90R
Gundam F90 were recovered by the EFF and sent back to their
Strategic Naval Research Institute (SNRI) to be rebuilt. The
mobile suit was reconstructed into the improved Gundam F90II,
returning to the hardpoint-laden, optional mission pack versatility
of the original Gundam F90. Even in its
"basic" configuration, the F90II was still boasted a considerable
improvement in terms of reactor power and performance with additional
speed and maneuverability. The F90II also served as the first
testbed for the revolutionary new "bio-computer" system, a derivative
of the classic psycommu system which relayed tactical data,
sensor system input, and piloting control advice directly to
into the pilot's brain. This system, which not only allowed
a new pilot to more easily adapt to the Gundam F90II, but also
made for faster pilot decisiveness and reaction time, would
later be incorporated into the Gundam
F91.
