Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Graze is a state-of-the-art mobile suit series built by Gjallarhorn and deployed within the Earth Sphere and space. It is the successor of the EB-04 Geirail and can trace its roots back to the Calamity War-era mobile suit, V08-1228 Grimgerde and its Valkyrja Frame. The frame was also developed to be lighter and simpler; compared to the Gundam Frame that represents Calamity War era MS, the Graze’s frame uses much lesser structural material.
The Graze’s head not only contains sensor(s) for measuring Ahab Waves, infrared and so forth, it also has a spherical module that is exposed during optical long-distance viewing and precise measurement.
History
The EB-06 Graze is a mass-produced Mobile Suit used by Gjallarhorn. During the mobile suit development process, many prototypes of the same model were assembled, including the EB-05s Schwalbe Graze. However, this model won the competition to be Gjallarhorn's main Mobile Suit due to possessing good operational and costs aspect.
During the attack on the headquarters of Chryse Guard Security (CGS) to capture Kudelia Aina Bernstein, Gjallarhorn's Mars Branch dispatched two standard green-colored Graze alongside a EB-06s Graze Commander Type as well as multiple NK-17 Gjallarhorn Mobile Workers. When the Mobile Workers took too long to dispatch the CGS' TK-53 CGS Mobile Workers, the Graze Commander Type piloted by Orlis Stenja intervened, but it was later defeated by the newly awakened ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos piloted by Mikazuki Augus. The other two standard Grazes then participated in the battle, but were eventually forced to retreat. The next day, Crank Zent in his standard Graze challenged Tekkadan to a fair match over Kudelia, and was defeated by Barbatos. Orlis' and Crank's Graze were then salvaged and rebuilt as EB-06/tc Graze Custom.
During Tekkadan's departure to space, Graze units in their space colors were deployed from Gjallarhorn's Ares base to intercept them. The Graze attack force was lead by Coral Conrad, who eventually used his own Graze Commander Type to fight against the Barbatos, but was killed in the process. The space color Grazes later appeared alongside the Arianrhod Fleet during the workers' rebellion at the Dort Colonies, and they were used to slaughter the ships and UGY-R38 Spinner Rodis used by the rebelling workers. Their attack was interrupted when Tekkadan decided to get involved. Later, the space color Grazes of the Outer Earth Orbit Regulatory Joint Fleet tried to stop Tekkadan from entering Earth's atmosphere, but failed when Tekkadan received additional help from Turbines in the form of two STH-05R Roueis.
