Technology & Combat Characteristics

The F90A Gundam F90 Assault Type is one of the many mission packs developed for the F90 Gundam F90 by the Strategic Naval Research Institute. The Gundam F90 Assault Type (or "A-Type" for short) is designed for extended travelling and combat operations. It is capable of infiltrating deep into enemy territory rapidly and then launching pinpoint attacks. The A-Type has flight capabilities thanks to the two backpack-mounted mobile units equipped with the Minovsky Craft system, as well as the large capacity propellant tanks on the forearms and legs. When flying, both shoulders are fixed to enhance flight stability and the AMBAC is controlled via the legs.

History

In. U.C. 0120, the F90 Gundam F90 and several of its mission packs, including the A-Type, were assigned to Ra Cailum-class Admiral Tianem as part of the 13th Experimental Battle Group. The Gundam F90 A-Type was then used as an example of how the Gundam F90 could benefit from equipping a mission pack. During the First Oldsmobile War that occurred later in the same year, the A-Type mission pack's mega beam bazooka was used by Def Stallion's Gundam F90 Unit 1 together with parts from the D-Type and S-Type mission packs, and this form was nicknamed "Gundam F90 A.D.S Type". The F90 A.D.S Type provided fire support to EFF forces that attacked the Oldsmobile's Olympus Mons fortress, and later fought against the enemy's OMS-90R Gundam F90. Despite being heavy damaged, the F90 eventually emerged victorious against the enemy Gundam.

In. U.C. 0122, a repaired Gundam F90 Unit 1 and its A-Type mission pack were assigned to the Abrams, another Ra Cailum-class ship, during the Second Oldsmobile War. Piloted by Bergh Squelette, the Gundam F90 A-Type fought and defeated many of the enemy mobile suits, including the OMS-06RF RF Zaku and the OMS-09RF RF Dom.
