The AGE System proposed the AGE-1ST Gundam AGE-1 Starks a long time ago, but it was never built. The blueprints ended up in Earth Federation Forces’ database and it was only much later that the research department dug it up. Large thrusters on the shoulders provided explosive speed, but it also made maneuvering difficult. It was predicted that its speed combined with its root reiber lance could destroy an enemy in a single charge attack, similar to how medieval knights fought with a lance. The danger of such a tactic was that suit might be attacked as it came close to the enemy. The Starks wear was still in testing phase when it was fitted onto the RGE-G1100 Adele for a mission where it was determined that this is the only way to stop the Vagan attack. Three Adeles were fitted with the wear; Unit 1 was piloted by Raul Whelan, Unit 2 was piloted by Max Hartway and Unit 3 by Arisa Gunhale. The lance was a heavy weapon that could negatively affect the suit’s balance and was destroyed during the attack. The lance also had four verniers on it and could help to increase the suit’s speed when charging.
