Technology & Combat Characteristics
Each environmental variant of the Human Reform League's Tieren series mobile suit has its corresponding commander version, and the MSJ-06II-ET Tieren Space Commander Type is the commander version of the standard MSJ-06II-E Tieren Space Type. Like the standard version, the Tieren Space Commander Type has maneuvering thrusters all over its body and propellant tanks on its leg that also serve as crude shields.
The Tieren Space Commander Type has different head unit and shoulder armor from the standard version, as well as improved communications and data processing capabilities for controlling mobile suit teams. Its head is squarish in shape and has additional sensor for enhanced data gathering capability. As for the shoulders, it has a pair of shields instead of the standard version's thrusters. These shields not only serve a defensive purpose, but also have sensors and communication devices. Aside from these changes, the Tieren Space Commander Type's basic performance is similar to that of the standard version.
The Human Reform League's mobile suit force typically operates in a group of 10 machines, consisting of 1 commander machine and 3 teams of 3 standard machines. This team composition applies to the mobile suit force on earth and in space.
History
A MSJ-06II-ET Tieren Space Commander Type was piloted by Sergei Smirnov when he led the HRL's Gundam capture operation. Taking advantage of the jamming capabilities of Celestial Being's GN Particles, the HRL scattered numerous two-way communicators into a section of space where it was believed Celestial Being was likely to be. When the Celestial Being's mothership, CBS-70 Ptolemaios, unknowingly ventured into the area and jammed the communicators, Sergei's forces were sent there to investigate. Then, by separating his forces, Sergei was able to separate the Gundams. The plan almost succeeded in the capture of the GN-003 Gundam Kyrios and the GN-005 Gundam Virtue, but failed due to previously unknown abilities of both Gundams and their Gundam Meisters, resulting in heavy losses for Sergei's team.
