| Though the Anti-Earth Union Group had, through one means or another, acquired many RGM-79R GM IIs to fill its frontline ranks, its leaders wanted a mass production unit of their own that could beat the Titans' and Earth Federation's GM IIs. Anaheim Electronics delivered on the concept, producing the MSA-003 Nemo which, although closely based on the GM II, was far better in performance in terms of generator power, thruster acceleration and maneuverability. To help keep its cost down, the Nemo used many weapons already employed by other existing mobile suits, such as the RMS-099 Rick Dias' beam saber and the GM II's beam rifle. With its first deployment, the Nemo easily supplemented the GM II as the mainstay of its mobile suit forces. |
