Technical and Historical Notes

Following the succession from the Earth Federation, the Space Revolutionary Army introduced the first mainline combat mobile suit, the RMS-006 Jenice.  Once the Earth Federation began deploying their own mobile suits, the DT-6800 series, the SRA began to upgrade their systems, and research new suit designs.  The RMS-009 Septem was one of these designs, and was at home, both on Earth, and in space, where it's large thrusters gave it more speed than the Jenice units.  Several Septum Units survive to this day, and are often found in the hands of Vulture or Pirate bands.

Conversion Notes

Although most of this information is as accurate as I can make it, in the Weapon Systems section I have included the Chest Vulcans, even though they are not listed in the "official" stats.  The reason I did this was that in every picture I've ever seen of the units, the weapons nozzles for the guns are plainly visible (look for yourself).  I felt that this was probably something that the original artists included, but the writers and tech's never got arround to using.  If you disagree with me, simply drop the first weapons system and GAME ON.
