Technology & Combat Characteristics

The RGM-79N GM Custom is a variation of the famous RGM series
developed by the Earth Federation. It's a production
model built after the end of the One Year War. Originally planned
as a successor unit to replace the existing mass-production
service models, the GM Custom is equipped with a high-output
generator and features improved thrusters and auxiliaries. Along
with other adjustments such as amplified actuators for faster
limb response and additional verniers for better attitude
control, the GM Custom possesses vastly superior overall
performance and balance when compared to other
mass-produced machines.

As a part of the "Augusta series" high-performance MS built after

the war, the GM Custom was designed and manufactured using
the data and technology, and even spare parts obtained from the
development of Gundam-type mobile suits, such
as the RX-78NT-1 Gundam "Alex" (where certain design features
are evident on the GM Custom). Thus, even among
the other high-spec MS of the Augusta series, the GM Custom is
still considered as one of the best units of the line.

Despite having output and mobility rivaling that of a

Gundam-type MS and being arguably the highest performing GM
unit variant during the Delaz Conflict, there is, in fact, nothing
that the GM Custom truely excels at, other than being a very
balanced general-purpose MS. It can be said that the GM Custom
is a "jack of all trades, but master of none".

Due to its construction complexity and high production cost

ratios, the GM Custom was not equipped with Beam weapons
(despite being capable of doing so due to its high generator
output) and its mass-production plans never left the draft stage.
As a result, only a limited number of GM Customs were produced
and these actual deployment units were assigned only to "ace"

class pilots and/or spec-ops teams.

After the events of the Delaz Conflict, the Augusta Base

development team, along with their projects, were drafted under
the management of the newly established Titans elite unit.
Impressed with the GM Custom's performance, the Titans
acquired the production line and streamlined the GM Custom's
design to be simpler and better suited for mass-production. And
thus marks the end of the production life the of GM Custom, and
the new RGM-79Q GM Quel is born. This new model would serve
as the Titans' mainstay mobile suit until it too was replaced by
the RMS-106 Hizack.

Armaments
60mm Vulcan Gun

A standard armament of the Earth Federation Forces' RGM

series of mobile suits is a pair of head mounted 60mm vulcan
guns. These shell firing weapons have a high-rate of fire but
have little power, however, they are effective at close
range and is commonly employed as a deterrence tactic to
keep an enemy mobile suit from getting too close. The
weapons are ideal for shooting down small, fast moving,
lightly armored targets such as missiles, small land vehicles,
and attack helicopters.

History
The GM Custom first saw active service during the events of the Delaz Conflict in U.C.0083. Three units were
assigned aboard the Pegasus-class assault carrier Albion during its mission to recover the stolen RX-78GP02A
Gundam "Physalis". These units were also used in the subsequent battles against Zeon remnants fleets led
by Aiguille Delaz and Cima Garahau, where one unit, piloted by Lt. South Burning, was lost. In U.C.0087, several
surviving machines were seen repossessed by the AEUG and were used in their struggles against the Titans and Axis
Zeon during the Gryps Conflict. These units, wearing the "AEUG colour", have their forehead, chest and feet painted
green instead of the default light blue.
