Technology & Combat Characteristics
The Dom Funf was independently developed by Zimmad as an improved model of the Dom following the implementation of the United Maintenance Plan. Due to standardization and compartmentalization, it can be easily modified into different variations.
History
Although this machine was not produced in large numbers, it was deployed to the Southeast Asian front, which was one of the most intense battlegrounds on the Earth, and to special operations units involved in anti-MS battles. One unit was assigned to 2nd Lt. Sophie Fran of the Midnight Fenrir Corps who used it during the final days of the war on Earth.
On February 28, U.C. 0083, the cruiser Ingolstadt, en route to the Republic of Zeon from Axis, was forced to launch a surprise attack on a Federation unit conducting a mock battle to prevent detection. During the ensuing skirmish, one RGM-79C GM Type C attempted to escape and contact reinforcements, but was intercepted by a Dom Funf piloted by Ensign Gerald Sinclair, who had come from Ambrosia Base to receive the Ingolstadt. Zoncho Kaminoza, the Ingolstadts gunnery officer, recognized the mobile suit and remarked that it was extremely rare.
