The Earth Federation's high-performance prototype Mobile Suit, the RX-78 Gundam, built to be an apex weapon, performed to legendary standards. Proceeding the aftermath from the Battle of Loom, the Earth Federation forces soon realized just how important the use of Mobile Suites would be during the conflict with the Principality of Xeon. Helping suits would be vital towards victory. The Federation's Mobile Suit development program was dubbed Operation V, and the RX-78 Gundam was the centerpiece. More than just an answer to the Zaku, the RX-78 Gundam pushed the limits of Mobile Suit technology. Led by Chief Technician Tim Re, the development of the RX-78 Gundam was calculated in every way possible. The Gundam was designed using Lunatitanium alloy for its armor, rendering the ammunition from the Zaku's 120mm machine gun completely ineffective. The Gundam was so well-armored that it would stand re-entry into Earth's atmosphere, on its own. The onboard learning computer allowed the Gundam to collect and store combat data for future use. One of the Gundam's most notable features, its onboard learning computer, was revolutionary in regards to Mobile Suit technology. The core blocks system allowed the Gundam to be separated into modular parts, while keeping the operator within a variable combat fighter. This also doubled as an escape measure. The Gundam was uniquely equipped with close-range beam weapons as well. Stored in its backpack, the RX-78 had two beam sabers that could also be recharged when docked. Each beam saber could be reconfigured into javelins as well. Wanted on the Gundam's head unit, dual 60mm Vulcan cannons could double as anti-aircraft defense as well as additional subweapons. In addition to the Gundam's impressive rollout features, its optional weaponry would just as revolutionary. Beam rifle was a high output mega-particle weapon that was just as powerful as a standard battleship cannon. The Hyperbuzuka shot a massive 380mm projectile, and could store a full magazine of 6 rounds. In the last but not least, the Gundam Hammer was… It was something… It definitely had charm. The RX-78 also wielded an additional defensive feature, the experimental medium shield, sometimes referred to as the G-shield. In combination with its versatile weapons, the RX-78 Gundam proved to pave a more path against the Z-Yong forces, gaining a reputation of fame and fear.
