▲ MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type(Above: Gaia / Left: Ortega / Right: Mash)
The MS-06 Zaku II, a suit that actively participates as the main force of the Principality of Zeon Forces, underwent development into a suit that would have utilizable versatility in accordance to various military situations starting with the Early Production Type C-Type, then the F-Type. Once the Principality of Zeon began preparing the mass production system of the highly versatile C-Type for the outbreak of the War of Independence, they then begin development on the MS-06 Zaku II and specialized the model to specifically deal with local restrictive battles. During that time, the model that was completed in the quickest period was the MS-06R-1A Zaku II High Mobility Type. The suit’s versatility was removed and improvements were made for a higher mobility to specialize the suit for combat in space. A propellant tank that could store much more propellant to consume at a larger capacity was added as a large-sized randoseru backpack. Three large-sized thrusters for acceleration were installed into each leg for a total of six thrusters to work towards an increase in mobility. This suit was used by the Black Tri-Stars – Gaia, Ortega, and Mash who once took part as test pilots during the mobile suit’s development – in a large-scale fleet battle in the early days of the War of Independence called the Battle of Loum. The three-in-one tactical maneuver, a formation made for anti-ship battles, is the trio’s specialty and is characterized by the trio’s varying armaments depending on their roles in battle. Gaia’s suit, which leads the team, is equipped with a shield on both shoulders and the number of rounds its bazooka carries has been increased. Mash’s suit has excellent firing ability and is equipped with the anti-ship MS rifle ASR-78 and is able to shoot middle and long-range distances. Lastly, Ortega’s suit specializes in close quarters combat and coordinates with the attacks of Gaia and Mash to deal the finishing blow in a direct attack with its Giant Heat Hawk. As a result, they will achieve remarkable results from the Battle of Loum.
