Mobile Suit Technology

The Mobile Suit has been the forefront of battles since long before the formation of the old Earth Federation Government. Originally designed as the next step up from the forklift and crane, these 'Mobile Suits' were initially built with new age construction in mind. They started off relatively small, and slowly grew in size as the technology evolved. It was with the birth of Minovsky physics that truly feasable MS began to be developed. It wasn't until later when dissient militants and criminals started to modify these with guns and armored plating for their own purposes that their purpose would begin to change.

Several governments and private industries began to do research into police and military applications of mobile suits and as they progressed, the faster the technology evolved. Perhaps it was the rise of this technology that allowed governments to rise up against one another. The more advanced Mobile Suits became, the more arrogant the world powers began to get. When wars began to pop up, it was the mobile suit that was always at the front lines. Researchers were always looking to build better weapons and make the MS faster and stronger, with the MS often being a large deciding factor in a battle. At that time if one force's mobile suits were more advanced than the opposing side's, the outcome was almost ensured.

As time went on, Mobile Suit designs came and went. With the rise of the Federation, the GM became one of the most widely known and produced suits. It was this suit that the Earth Federal Government used to "unite" the planet during their short reign. With the rise of Zeon, the Great War itself and the colony drops, many more Mobile Suit designs began to pop up and/or resurface. Since that time, the 4 most recognized MS have been the old GM, the Zaku, the Jenice(only known in space) and the Leo(only known on Earth). New MS technology is deing developed all of the time, with only certain areas of Earth still having the capabilities to manufacture mobile suits, and even fewer locations being able to develope new designs. In space, research goes on uninterupted, but as a slower pace due to restrictions only recently lifted from the non-aggression treaty signed between Zeon and the Jovian Alliance.

Note on Mobile Armours
Mobile ARMOUR (MA in short) is an acronym for All Range Maneuverability Offence Utility Reinforcement. A mobile armour is usually non-humanoid, and is usually much larger and more powerful than contemporary mobile suits. Due to their high costs, most MAs remained as experimental units or limited production ones before and during the Great War. Despite their high production costs, the few MAs that were created were feared by all. The destructive power than a single of these machines was capable of was immense, and their contruction has been concidered to be extremely taboo. Any pilots that fought before the Great War know about these machines, and those that have faced them still look back and shudder to this day when recalling stories of old.
