    RGM-79 (GM)

    The RGM-79 GM was the Earth Federation Forces' first mass produced mobile suit developed to counter the Principality of Zeon's mobile suits. While less advanced than prototypes like the RX-78-2 Gundam, the GM sacrificed capabilities like beam sabers and beam rifles for cheaper mass production. Data from early GM testing models and the Gundam helped inform the design of the widespread GM variant, which debuted after the Battle of Odessa and was pivotal in the EFF pushing Zeon forces off Earth and winning key space battles.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Earth Federation Forces were caught flat-footed when the Principality of Zeon deployed
    mobile suits at the start of the One Year War in UC 0079, thus changing the face of warfare
    forever. The EFF scrambled to catch up its own lagging mobile suit development and initiated
    Operation V, which led to the creation of the RX-78-2 Gundam. Combat data from the Gundam's
    learning computer, combined with the pre-production RGM-79(E) GM Early Type, contributed
    to the development of the mass production RGM-79 GM. To mass produce the Gundam, several
    compromises were made, such as removing the Core Block System, removing a beam saber and
    replacing the powerful beam rifle with a simpler beam spray gun or machine gun. As the EFF
    ramped up its production lines, the standard GM made its wide scale debut following the Battle
    of Odessa in November. Multiple variants of the GM were deployed as the EFF pushed the Zeon
    off Earth. In space, GMs were used in large numbers during Operation Cembalo and Operation
    Star One. After the war, the EFF continued to produce GM variants and upgrades, and its
    successors in the RGM series saw wide use as late as UC 0223.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The One Year War reached a stalemate, and the Earth Federation Forces scrambled to develop
    and deploy their own mobile suit forces to counter the Principality of Zeon. While the EFF's
    Operation V prototype units were creating havoc for Zeon in other parts of the Earth Sphere, the
    EFF were already hard at work laying the groundwork for their own mass-produced mobile suit.
    A pre-production model developed in conjunction with the experimental groundpounding RGM-
    79(G) GM Ground Type, the RGM-79(E) GM Early Type was designed for space combat and is
    closely based on the prototype RX-78-2 Gundam mobile suit operating at the time. The Early
    Type, along with combat data obtained from the Gundam's "learning computer" system, served
    as the basis of the later mass-produced RGM-79C GM Type C.

    Only a few units of the Early Type were produced and placed into actual combat for testing. One
    of these units was operated by Terry Sanders, Jr., who became one of the Federation's first ace
    mobile suit pilots by scoring six enemy kills in his GM. However, his entire team was wiped out
    on October 6, UC 0079, when they encountered a new test-model MS-06RD-4 Zaku II RD-4
    Type. Sanders was the only member of his team to survive the encounter, with his own GM left
    severely damaged and incapable of combat. With his infamous "Death God" nickname ensured -
    due to his curse of being the only member of his own team to walk away alive - the EFF
    transferred Sanders out of the space unit test team and into groundside combat in Southeast Asia.
