Technical and Historical Notes

In AC 195, five teenaged boys used Gundam mobile suits to wage a guerilla war against OZ and their oppression of the space colonies. Far removed from this conflict, new Gundam type mobile suits were being secretly constructed at the mobile suit factory asteroid MO-V. Developed by Dr. Berg, the OZX-GU01A Gundam Geminass 01 and OZX-GU02A Gundam Geminass 02 represented a change in mobile suit design philosophy. These two Gundams (or G-UNITs) were modular in construction, allowing them to change nearly every part to adapt to specific environments. Aside from the modular design, the G-UNITs also featured another new innovative feature: the PX system. The PX system took advantage of the increased adrenaline a pilot felt during combat and also increased the performance of the mobile suit. However, the PX system had a time limit, which if passed had serious consequences for both the pilot and the suit. In addition to these features, the Geminass could also be equipped with a space unit or high mobility unit. Standard armaments included two beam swords and an accelerate rifle. The Geminass 01 was assigned to rookie pilot Odin Bernett, who was at first unable to use the PX system but gained mastery of it over time. Later, the Geminass 01 was upgraded to the more powerful OZX-GU01LOB Gundam L.O. Booster and eventually assigned to former OZ Prize pilot Roche Nattono.
