Technical and Historical Notes

The Principality of Zeon began developing experimental mobile armors during the early stages
of the One Year War, and one of the earliest designs was the space use MA-04X Zakrello. Rather
than the agile and multi-role concept used in mobile suits, the Zakrello mobile armor was
designed with speed and firepower in mind. It was equipped with a high output generator to
power its diffuse mega particle cannon, and mounted large enough thrusters to give it
tremendous acceleration. It also featured a pair of heat claws for melee attacks, plus a pair of
missile launchers. However, what the Zakrello enjoyed in speed it lacked in agility, making it
highly prone to taking fire and being unable to dodge attacks, which was demonstrated in the
field when one unit was destroyed in a battle with the RX-78-2 Gundam. In addition to the
standard Zakrello, the Zeon also created a Newtype-use variant, the MAN-00X-2 Brawrello.

Technical and Historical Notes

When the Zeonic Company's space combat MS-11 Act Zaku development project was canned,
the Zimmad Company quickly responded by making a variant of their well-proven MS-09 Dom
ground combat mobile suit. It was near the end of the One Year War in UC 0079, and the
Principality of Zeon, realizing that the outcome of the war was going to be decided in space,
devoted all of its mobile suit manufacturing resources to space combat units. Refining the Dom
design for space was simple, and mostly involves replacing the hover jet thrusters with standard
rocket thrusters. The result was the MS-09R Rick Dom, and Zeon manufacturers begin cranking
out hundreds of these new units late in the war, replacing the aging MS-06F Zaku II as the
premiere front line combat unit. When the Zeon military launchee its United Maintenance Plan to
streamline manufacturing by redesigning mobile suits to use the same parts, the Rick Dom was
redesigned into the MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II.
