Technology & Combat Characteristics

The Genoace is a mass-production mobile suit of the Earth Federation Forces. It is a highly versatile machine and characterized by a clear blue visor covering the front of the head and internal sensors. It was rolled out at the same time as the Earth Federation Forces begin to battle the Unknown Enemy (UE), and a wide variety of customized units exist. The Genoace's frame is based on the CMS-328 Desperado's. The Genoace was said to have the highest performance among the mobile suits created after the Silver Chalice Treaty, in which weapons were discarded and technology was sealed. However, it was no match for the UE's mobile suits, which used the sealed technologies.

More than a decade after its introduction, the Genoace finally became a threat to the UE's mobile suits, thanks to the creation and adoption of the DODS Gun. There is also a particular Genoace piloted by Largan Drace that is refitted by Vargas Dyson with double layer armor, one more then the normal unit. While the external appearance of this modified unit is unchanged, it seems to be able to endure more beating from UE's mobile suits than the normal unit.

History

The RGE-B790 Genoace was developed and mass-produced in response to the attacks by Unknown Enemy (UE) that first occurred in A.G. 101. Unfortunately, for more than a decade after its introduction, the Genoace was no match for the UE's mobile suits. This finally changed in A.G. 115, when the DODS Gun was created and adopted as part of the Genoace's armament, allowing it to fight more evenly against the UE.

By A.G. 123, the Genoace was regarded as an antiquated machine, but it was still favored by many pilots and continued to be deployed in combat, such as protecting the Toludin Base. However, as its successor, the RGE-B890 Genoace II, became more widespread, the Genoace began to disappear, and by A.G. 140, it had been completely retired.
