Technology & Combat Characteristics
Following the collapse of Celestial Being in AD 2308, the Innovades who called themselves Innovators initiated their own mobile suit development program. Using data stored in Veda, they replicated six machines used by Celestial Being and its support group, Fereshte, for data collection purposes. The GN-XXXB Gundam Rasiel Black, a dark colored copy of the original GN-XXX Gundam Rasiel, is among the six and the sole unit based on a 3rd generation Gundam. By AD 2312, its wreckage was in the hands of the reborn Celestial Being and ex-Fereshte members repaired it, reverting its color scheme and designation to those of the original Rasiel's, creating a second Gundam Rasiel; its GN Drive Tau was also replaced by a large GN Condenser.
History
AD 2311. The CBS-68 Euclides carrying Fon Spaak, Hanayo, Hixar Fermi and Hayana arrived at the dark side of the moon to locate Veda's exact whereabouts. The Innovators deployed the GN-XXXB Gundam Rasiel Black, GNR-000B Black GN Sefer, GNY-001FB Gundam Astraea Type F Black, GNY-002FB Gundam Sadalsuud Type F Black, GNY-003FB Gundam Abulhool Type F Black and GNY-004B Gundam Plutone Black to intercept them. While the others battled Fon and his GNY-001F2 Gundam Astraea Type F2, the Rasiel Black and Black GN Sefer quickly combined to form the GN-XXXB + GNR-000B Black Sefer Rasiel and confronted Hixar and his GNY-002F Gundam Sadalsuud Type F. However, Hixar who had grown strong following Grave Violento's death was able to defeat the Black Sefer Rasiel.
AD 2312. The reborn Celestial Being recovered the wreckage of the Black Sefer Rasiel, and ex-Fereshte members repaired the Rasiel Black, reverting its paint scheme and designation to those of the original Gundam Rasiel. This second Gundam Rasiel was to meet Hixar's request for a Gundam to battle the revived Beside Pain.
