Technology & Combat Characteristics
The F90O Gundam F90 Officer Type is one of the many mission packs developed for the F90 Gundam F90 by the Strategic Naval Research Institute. The Gundam F90 O-Type was developed for use by commanders and officers, and improvements have been made accordingly to its command capabilities. A composite unit consisting of two vulcan guns and large blade antennas have been added to the backpack. This unit improves communication capabilities and the ability to restrict movement of enemy units, and enables the commander-use mobile suit to quickly analyze the state of a battle and conduct appropriate operations. With the addition of the composite unit, the backpack was also modified. The two beam sabers stored on it have been moved to a mount latch attached to the left side skirt's hardpoint with an additional pair on the opposing side. The O-Type also equips an enhanced beam rifle which possesses two firing modes.
History
In. U.C. 0115, the F90 Gundam F90 Unit 2 equipped with O-Type mission pack was assigned to the Space Ark-class Fairlady. Piloted by Gideon Brondan of the Fastest Formula Corps, the Gundam F90 Officer Type was testing its equipment while on a space pirates mopping up operation. Suddenly, the Gundam F90 Officer Type and its teammates, consisting of a F70 Cannon Gundam and a RGM-109 Heavygun, were attacked by the MSA-120 Draig. The Cannon Gundam and the Heavygun were quickly defeated, and while the Gundam F90 Officer Type was able to keep up with the Draig for a while, but the enemy pilot proved to be more skillful than Gideon. In the end, the Gundam F90 Officer Type survived due to the intervention of a RGM-109 Heavygun Full Equipment Type piloted by Dir Rider, as well as a mysterious sniper.
