The latest MS developed by the AEU. A solar energy model, this MS can accept a direct supply of power from the orbital elevator's generation system. The basic design is noted by Union scientist Billy Katagiri to be heavily based on the Union's Flag and shares many features such as the flight form transformation and armaments.
The AEU, whose orbital elevator is still in an incomplete state, has staked its organization's prestige on the development of this new solar energy-adapted mobile suit. The demonstration unit operated by AEU ace pilot, Patrick Colasour, was announced on the same day the Human Reform League celebrated the tenth anniversary of the completion of its own orbital elevator, only to be heavily damaged by Gundam Exia during its demonstration.
The prototype for the Enact is the AEU-09Y812 AEU Enact which was manufactured and modified by PMC Trust. With this it can be disputed that all AEU mobile suits were actually manufactured by PMC Trust.
Combat Characteristics
The Enact is a high performance mobile suit that is capable of transforming into a high speed jet fighter mode. Both modes are capable of aerial flight with the mobile suit mode providing greater mobility and the jet fighter mode providing greater speed. The Enact's linear rifle can be used in both modes. However the sonic blade used for close combat and the defense rod are limited to use only in mobile suit mode.
History
The Enact's production was launched in the year 2307 and the model was first introduced on the day of the HRL's ten year celebration for the completion of its Orbital Elevator. Although its abilities were virtually identical to the Union's Flag the Enact's design incorporated the the latest in mobile suit technology making it one of the most advanced mobile suit to date. However its capabilities were quickly overshadowed by the Gundam Exia piloted by Setsuna who defeated an Enact piloted by one of the AEU's top Aces with ease, completely destroying the unit's head and arms without damaging the cockpit. This humiliating defeat would delay the Enact's launch, but that did not stop the PMC Trust from making use of the mobile suit.
Enacts operated by both AEU military and PMC Trust would later take part in battles against Celestial Being's armed intervention with little success.
Some months after the introduction of the Enact the Union, AEU, and HRL would unite together and create the United Nations Forces that would use the GNX-603T GN-X. This was the precurser to the establishment of the Earth Sphere Federation which would mass produce the GN Drive Tau technology and production of previous mobile suit models such as the Enact would cease in favor for mobile suits of the GNX series.
By the year 2312 most Enacts still in service for the Earth Sphere Federation despite being outmatched by GN-X model mobile suits. The Enact and its variants were also used by various independent factions and anti-federation organizations such as the Kingdom of Suillie and Katharon.
