Technology & Combat Characteristics

A customized version of the Principality of Zeon's Kämpfer F-Type which was developed at the end of the One Year War as a high-mobility variant that specializes in hit-and-run tactics. The Kämpfer was originally designed as a mobile suit for heavy assault, and has extremely high mobility compared to other mobile suits developed at the same time. This machine has acquired even greater high mobility performance through the installation of three booster units developed by Anaheim Electronics for the GP Project. In addition, the internal parts of this machine have been completely overhauled, and many prototype parts from the GP Project, including the characteristic Stürm Booster unit, have been incorporated. This resulted in strong suspicion of a connection between Anaheim Electronics and the Zeon Remnants terrorist forces who operated this machine.

History

The Kämpfer High Mobility Type was part of a lunar-based squad of Zeon Remnants in UC 0082. Piloted by Michelle Kano, it would be used to commit acts of terrorism against the Earth Federation Forces, who found its extreme speed difficult to counter. Anaheim Electronics would send a taskforce to help deal with the threat to try to improve their relationship with the Federation, who were concerned about former-Zeon operatives working with the company. This taskforce likewise struggled to match it in high-speed combat at first. The Kämpfer High Mobility Type would be finally defeated by Peche Montagne in the RX-78MS00Z-B Engage Zero Additional Booster Equipment Type.

Peche was later assigned as a test pilot for the RX-78GP04G Gundam "Gerbera", and developed concerns when the mobile suit's engine sounds reminded her of the Kämpfer High Mobility Type. At Peche's urging, Lucette Audevie began to investigate, and uncovered a conspiracy within Anaheim Electronics to launder experimental parts and technology to Zeon remnants by disposing of them to local scrapyards.
