Developed by the Earth Federation Forces' elite Titans branch, the ORX-012 (MSF-008) Gundam Mark IV is created mainly to battle the anti-Federation group Karaba, which is operating on Earth at the time. Developed at the Augusta Research Institute, the Gundam Mark IV is based off of the MSF-007 Gundam Mark III built by Anaheim Electronics. Though this large machine cleaves closely to the classic Gundam design, it also installs a quasi-psycommu system. This special system allows a non-Newtype pilot to execute an all-range attack through the use of a wire-guided incom. The success of the Gundam Mark IV leads to the creation of the ORX-013 Gundam Mark V, which borrows much of the Mark IV's design ethics.
