RGE-B890 Genoace II

The RGE-B890 Genoace II is a mobile suit developed for the Earth Federal Forces, which appears in the second generation of the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam AGE and the manga Mobile Suit Gundam AGE: Memories of Sid. The unit is piloted by Largan Drace and Obright Lorain.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Genoace II is a new mobile suit that is the successor to the RGE-B790 Genoace and was developed after Woolf Enneacle's modified Genoace, the RGE-B790CW Genoace Custom. The machine is adjusted for improved maneuverability and has somewhat sensitive controls, making the Genoace II easy to handle by regular pilots. While possessing similar performance capabilities to the Genoace Custom its combat abilities are further improved by the addition of a beam saber and a mass produced DODS gun. Even upon the advent of the relatively higher performance Adele, the Genoace II is still being used by many pilots since the the Genoace itself has molded the skills of many pilots. Its enhanced thrusters and sensors are identical to that of the Genoace Custom.

Armaments

 * DODS Gun
 * A mass produced beam weapon modeled after the AGE-1 Gundam AGE-1 Normal's DODS Rifle. Usually not as powerful as the DODS Rifle, it still has enough force to take down Vagan mobile suits in one shot. However, Genoace II's DODS Gun are nullify against Vagan's mobile suits with Electromagnetic Armor such as Ovm-e Dorado.


 * Beam Saber
 * A simple beam saber that allows the mobile suit to engage in close combat during battle, it is stored in the shield.


 * Shield
 * The Genoace II's defensive armament. A fairly standard shield mounted on the left forearm.

History
The RGE-B890 Genoace II was developed in the year AG 115 shortly after the Battle of Ambat. It would serve as one of the Federation's mainstay mobile suits for 25 years before it began to be phased out by the newer RGE-G1100 Adele.

One unit was seen battling the Ovm-e Dorado mobile suits that attacked Tordia. Though it was mostly disabled without inflicting any damage, that particular Genoace II proved crucial by holding one of the Dorados long enough for Asemu in the Gundam AGE-1 to finish it.

Another surviving unit is seen in A.G 151, during the Earth Federal Forces's hunt for the renegade organization Visidian, piloted by Largan Drace. It is used to engage against Wivik Lambro and his G-Xiphos.
