Technology & Combat Characteristics
The OMS-01RFN is a prototype Newtype mobile suit developed by the Mars Zeon Independence Army in U.C. 0111. This mobile suit was developed with the intention of re-establishing the Psycommu technology that was lost during the Martian Civil War, but there are two conflicting objectives as to why Psycommu was needed in the first place. Those were: "developing a mobile worker for Mars development by establishing safe and cheap Psycommu technology for civilians" and "Downsizing of 40m-class Newtype-use mobile suits."
The Mars Zeon Independence Army had set a long-term goal of re-invading Earth sphere, but on Mars, where air and water could not be freely obtained, it was necessary to expand and secure living space. The technocrats, who believed that a new nation should be built by uniting Spacenoids, in outer-orbit, and the military hardliners, who advocated the purging of Earth, which were at odds with each other, but both were rational enough to realize that they could not survive without the other. Thus, the OMS-01RFN, which pursued the functions demanded by both factions, became a test machine that incorporated nearly every conceivable function into the scale of a 18m-class mobile suit.
Although it is a new model, the upper body was reused from the AMS-119 Geara Doga, which makes it almost identical in specifications to the MSN-03 Jagd Doga. The main focus of the unit is to control most of the unit through psycommunication control using the Psycoframe arranged around the cockpit. The control sticks and pedals in the cockpit were merely auxiliary controls. It can also be controlled remotely using a Psycommu controller. The legs have been removed and replaced with large propellant tanks and thrusters. This is a concept inherited directly from the prototype MSN-01 High Mobility Psycommu System Zaku, but the purpose of the test was to re-establish the technology for single-unit MS flight using thrust within the Martian gravitational field. For this reason the thrusters are specialized for attitude control in the Martian atmosphere. A Minovsky flight system and a beam barrier was also intended for implementation to the any subsequent units.
History
In U.C 0111 the High Speed Mobility Type Zaku deployed near Mars colony to conduct its seventh test flight, however during the test it was destroyed and its test pilot killed during the process. the cause of its destruction was possibly caused by the burden the implementation of such a wide-range of functions placed on the pilot. It is unknown whether the experiment continued or subsequent unit was built, however the recovered data was implemented into the Zeon Remnants' development of Newtype weapons, including the OMA-05-2RFN RF Gromlin II, and were also reflected in additional plans for the improvement of the captured F90 Gundam F90 Unit 2.
