After the One Year War ended at the beginning of UC 0080, the Earth Federal Forces began rebuilding its military strength, and one major step was the improvement of its mass-production RGM-79 GM mobile suit on a widespread scale. The improved mass-production model was the RGM-79C GM Kai, and though it was similar to the original GM in its armament and abilities, it did feature greatly improved thruster acceleration and maneuverability. The "C-type" GM would remain the standard mass-production frontline unit for the Earth Federation Forces until the introduction of the RGM-79R GM II several years later.
