Technical
and Historical Notes
The second
Gundam F90 test unit, captured near Side
4 by the Oldsmobile Army in October UC 0120, was taken back
to these Zeon remnants' Mars base to be refurbished for their
own uses. The overhauled model was redesignated OMS-90R Gundam
F90 (also known as the "Mars Zeon Type F90," and it only vaguely
resembled its original form, being painted in a striking red-orange-on-white
scheme. The Mars Zeon F90 did not have as many external hardpoints
as the original Federation F90, as none
of the Gundam F90's optional mission packs
and equipment were captured, and the Oldsmobile Army wanted
their prize to be a simple, high-performance unit. The new F90
also sported more vernier thrusters, making it much more agile
and maneuverable in close combat. This would give the Mars Zeon
F90 a considerable advantage when it finally faced off against
the Federation Forces' remaining original Gundam
F90 deep inside the Oldsmobile Army's Mars base. The Mars
Zeon F90 would end up delivering considerable damage to the
Federation F90, but in the end it would be
defeated. The Mars Zeon F90's remains were recovered by the
Federation Forces, and their SNRI (Strategic Naval Research Institute)
would rebuild the unit into the even-more-improved Gundam
F90II.
