Technology & Combat Characteristics
The F90N Gundam F90 N-Type is the combined form of the base F90 Gundam F90 with the N-Type Mission Pack, which consists of a special backpack unit called the H.U.L.L Fighter. Developed in secrecy by SNRI, the Hull Fighter is a way to turn the Gundam F90, which is neither equipped nor compatible with any Psycho-Frame technology, into a Newtype-use Mobile Suit.
The H.U.L.L Fighter is a manned support unit that is also capable of operating as a space fighter. With the Hull Fighter docked, the entire Mobile Suit can be operated from the cockpit of either the F90 or H.U.L.L Fighter, though the intent was to have the F90 pilot operate the Mobile Suit while the Hull Fighter's Newtype pilot would concentrate on controlling the N-Type's remote weaponry.
History
The N-Type mission pack's existence is first hinted at by Job John, as believes he sees an ideal pilot for it in Liv Angelica. In UC 0112, the Earth Federation Forces 13th Experimental Squadron's Team B test pilot Patsy Angelika was assigned to test various Mission Packs with the F90 Gundam F90 Unit 2. On their final mission, in space, the trial of the F90G Gundam F90 G-Type was attacked by a mercenary group called Gleam Black Guns. The Hull Fighter, piloted by Liv, joins the battle alongside the F90 Unit 2, which was engaged in a losing battle against two variable Tigris mobile suits, and they combine to form the Gundam F90 N-Type. However, Liv is overcome by the Psycho-Frame and loses his senses. His mother leaves her cockpit to try to help him, but she is caught in the explosion of a Tigris, and killed, and the F90 N-Type is left heavily damaged.
The Gundam F90 Unit 2 and Hull Fighter are both repaired and returned to service in UC 0115. Gideon Blondin, a former member of Team B, is assigned to lead the Federation's 2nd Special Experimental Battle Corps, nicknamed "Fastest Formula", where he is to pilot the Gundam F90 Unit 2 alongside the Hull Fighter's pilot, who goes by the name Dill Ryder, but who Gideon recognizes as Liv. They are tasked with helping the Federation mop up Neo Zeon remnants, but are tailed by Anaheim Electronics operatives in the Federation who have begun gathering data for the Silhouette Formula Project.
The N Type later attached to Gundam F90 Unit 3 following the aftermath of Frontier 1 Zeon Remnant insurrection, the mission pack itself is assigned to unit 3 because it's compatible with Dir Rider abilities as a newtype. Since the N Type attched to unit 3 the Gundam itself often used at least 2 mission packs or 4 mission packs if things got out of hand and Fastest Formula needed a quick tide turner. When Zeon Remnant cell known as "Legacy" sieged EFF Trimurti Anti Asteroid Cannon the Fastest Formula Corps (FF) was assigned to aid the local defense force to repel the Legacy which was led by Rhein Dragun. The Gundam F90-3 N Type was the spearhead of FF Corps which was equipped with NGVW Mission pack combination dubbed the FF-Type. During the battle F90-3 N Type was once again met it's nemesis the MSA-120 Draig, and they were fighting on equal terms, the battle was intence because both the F90 and Draig pilot is evenly matched until F90-3 Pilot outmaneuvered the Draig which eventually the F90 able to destroy it albeit the unit lost 3 mission packs in the process.
