An experimental mobile suit developed to be the ultimate heavy armored unit, the New United Nations Earth’s NRX-010 Gable was a true behemoth, being twice as tall and three times as heavy as an average mobile suit. Its armor was extremely thick, making it impervious to most light weapons fire. In addition to its armor, the Gable was equipped with a pair of beam deflection field generators in its shoulders. These generators created a field capable of absorbing or deflecting any beam weapons fire, making the Gable not only heavily armored, but in a sense, untouchable. Due to its own weight, the Gable was not capable of carrying any weapons, instead relying on its own limbs to swat and smash its enemies with brute force. However, the Gable’s unconventional design also proved too limited for mass production, but the prototype was assigned to the South Asia front under the care of Shagia and Olba Frost. The Frost brothers recruited pilot Milra Draid to use the massive Gable to destroy the Vulture ship Freeden‘s GX-9901-DX Gundam Double X. Being a psychotic adrenaline junkie, Draid accepted the challenge of taking on his enemy without any weapons, as it would push him to the edge and give him the “rush” he constantly strived for. During the battle, Garrod Ran’s Double X and Witz Sou’s GW-9800-B Gundam Airmaster Burst proved ineffective in damaging the Gable with their beam weapons. However, Roabea Loy’s GT-9600 Gundam Leopard arrived on the scene, and using its conventional weapons at extremely close range, it was able to deliver killing blows to Draid and his Gable.
