Technology & Combat Characteristics

The K-Type is one of the many mission packs developed for the F90 Gundam F90 by the Strategic Naval Research Institute, and it specialized in defending bases and motherships. Designed for prolonged combat, the F90 K-Type prioritized improvement in defensive power over firepower. While the F90 K-Type's high defensive power enabled it to protect nearby allied units and bases, it must rely on its allies for offensive capabilities and is said to be a machine premised on team operation.

History

In U.C. 0112, F90 Gundam F90 Unit 2 and the K-Type mission pack were assigned to the 13th Experimental Squadron Team B. Piloted by Patsy Angelika, the F90 K-Type was deployed in a mock battle at a Shoal Zone to test its performance. During the test, it was ambushed by several RGM-86R GM III (GBG Specifications) and a RGM-86R-FA Full Armor GM III‎, and then lured to a secluded location to fight two RDG-3 Tigris piloted by Griselda Jiah and Oier Randeggder. Using its prototype mega beam shield as a melee weapon, the F90 K-Type destroyed Griselda's Tigris. However, it was subsequently defeated by Oier's Tigris, but was rescued due to the arrival of the H.U.L.L Fighter piloted by Liv Angelika.

Later in U.C. 0116, the F90 Unit 2 was assigned to Ra Cailum-class ship, Ajax, and equipped with the K-Type mission pack. Piloted by Kanata Sawame, this F90 K-Type serve as the defensive unit for Fastest Formula (FF) Corps during the Siege of Trimurti Satellite Cannon by the EGUM forces. During the battle, it managed to protect nearby allied units, but was nearly destroyed when it was ambushed by a RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias. Fortunately, Kanata's quick reflex turned the fight around, and the Schuzrum Dias was destroyed.
