More than 300 years ago, Gjallarhorn created 72 Gundam Frames in an effort to fight off the existential threat of unmanned mobile armors during the Calamity War. Compared to standard mobile suits, these high performance machines each mounted two Ahab reactors. The Gundams also utilized the Alaya-Vijnana System, a man-machine interface in which plugs from the cockpit would connect to spinal cord implants protruding from the pilot’s back. This system allowed data to flow both ways between the Gundam and the pilot’s brain, and it also allowed for human-like movement. However, exceeding the system’s safety limits could permanently injure the pilot’s body. The names and model numbers of all the Gundams corresponded to the names and ranks of demons from the Lesser Key of Solomon. The ASW-G-66 Gundam Kimaris was named after the demon Marquis Kimaris.

Dating back to the Calamity War, the Gundam Kimaris was owned by the Bauduins, one of Gjallarhorn’s ruling Seven Stars families. For over three centuries, the suit remained on display until Gaelio Bauduin brought it out of storage in P.D. 323 to fight Tekkadan. Able to function in space or on the ground, the Gundam Kimaris was specialized for close combat, with its main weapon being a Gungnir lance that mounted a pair of 120mm cannons. Its other weapons included four flare launchers, two slash disks and a combat knife. A specially built booster allowed the suit to fly over long distances. After chasing Tekkadan to Earth, Gaelio had the suit outfitted with new equipment as the Gundam Kimaris Trooper.
