Operational History
Several Garm Rodis were first seen being used by the Dawn Horizon Corps when they were hired to attack the Admoss Company's half-metal mine. However, Kudelia Aina Bernstein had engaged Tekkadan to protect the facility. Althought the Garm Rodis performed decently against the Tekkadan's STH-16 Shiden, they became overwhelmed with the appearance of Mikazuki Augus and his ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos Lupus and soon retreated.
The Garm Rodis were later deployed during the space battle between the Dawn Horizon Corps and Tekkadan. Again, they were no match against the Gundam Barbatos Lupus, nor were they any match for Akihiro Altland and his ASW-G-11 Gundam Gusion Rebake Full City. After some intervention by Gjallarhorn, the battle ended when Tekkadan captured the Dawn Horizon Corps' leader.
