History
After the end of the One Year War, some Galbaldy α units were captured by the Earth Federation Forces and developed into the RMS-117 Galbaldy β, while others were transferred to Axis. Some of the latter were modified into Galbaldy α High Mobility Type.

In September, U.C. 0094, one blue Galbaldy α High Mobility Type and one green Galbaldy α escorted a MS-09SS Dowas Custom in Char Aznable's colors from Axis to the Anaheim Electronics facility on Granada. On the lunar surface, the three machines encountered the Titans 7th Platoon and engaged them in combat.

The 7th Platoon consisted of two RGM-79Q GM Quel, a GM Sniper II, and the RX-80PR-4 Pale Rider DII. With its superior mobility, the Galbaldy High Mobility type easily overwhelmed one of the GM Quel and disabled it with a volley of beam machine gun fire, while the green Galbaldy destroyed the other. However, the Pale Rider faked a retreat, allowing the GM Sniper II to heavily damage the green Galbaldy with its beam sniper rifle.

Having avoided the sniper fire, the High Mobility Galbaldy pursued the Pale Rider, destroying its Shekinah composite weapon with needle missiles. As the Pale Rider attempted to counterattack with a beam rifle, but the High Mobility Galbaldy threw its shield at it, knocking it off balance. It then cut off the Pale Rider's arms with its beam saber, disabling it.
