The GNX/F-401 "Octave" is a Mobile Suit created by DARPA, in collaboration with the UCR and CMF. It served as a test bed for advanced technologies being infused into Mobile Suits to create much more efficient machines, leading to the creation of many more GNX'F's since its introduction.
Combat History[]
The Octave has seen combat plenty of times, leading to the machine being deemed a success. Its first deployment was during the Battle of Earth, where a squadron of these Mobile Suits were deployed to attack and destroy multiple ground-based UNSC targets. First Mission deemed a major success as no units were lost or beyond repair. The Octave Also participated in the Blue Flag war games as part of the CMF's representative squadron.
