History
The DT-6800C Daughtress Command is the commander variant of the standard DT-6800A Daughtress created by the United Nations Earth (UNE). This unit was assigned to commanders and ace pilots exclusively. The Daughtress Command was deployed throughout the 7th Space War. Like the original Daughtress, it can assumed that the Daughtress Command started to be phased out of use during the final stages of the war due to the deployment of the more advanced Gundam-series mobile suits.
After the cataclysmic war, a number of Daughtress Command mobile suits survived and found their way in to the hands of various factions. Some of these Daughtress Commands were claimed by Vultures. Many of these acquired Daughtress Commands were customized in various ways by different factions and people.
One notable Daughtress Command was piloted by Reich Anto, who chased after Garrod Ran in his Daughtress Command after Garrod refused to hand over Tiffa Adill, a Newtype. Anto met his end when Garrod was led by Tiffa during the chase to a facility holding a GX-9900 Gundam X, which Garrod used to destroy Rantu's Daughtress Command. At least one other Daughtress Command was used to defend the Alternative Company's headquarter when Shagia Frost appeared in his NRX-0013 Gundam Virsago. This suit was quickly defeated by the Gundam Virsago although its pilot's life was spared.
Even though the Daughtress Command was an outdated mobile suit in A.W. 0015, the New United Nations Earth still operated a large number of these mobile suits in its campaigns to re-unify the world. The Daughtress Command started to be phased out of use by the New UNE when the more advanced NRX-009 Balient was introduced. Despite the deployment of the more advanced Balient and NRX-018-2 Daughtress Neo, many Daughtress Commands were still deployed in the 8th Space War (presumably due to the New UNE's lack of resources).
