Technology & Combat Characteristics
Another variant of the MS-09B Dom, its relationship with the MS-10 Pezun Dowadge is uncertain. It is the final production model of the Dom series. It featured head mounted vulcan guns and external propellant tanks, extending its hover ability. In addition, the rear thermonuclear jet propulsion unit features dust filters and is equipped with a back-mounted antenna to increase communication capabilities. In addition to the heat saber used by most Doms models, the Dwadge can also used a heat tomahawk. The Dwadge also used a slightly larger (380mm) version of the giant bazooka which uses shaped charge ammunition.
History
As the last variant of the MS-09B Dom, the Dwadge enter into service late in the One Year War in limited numbers, with two such units being assigned to Desert Rommel and Karahan of the Rommel Corps stationed in North Africa. It continued to see actions in later conflicts, such as the First Neo Zeon War in U.C. 0088 and was used by various parties. Approximately 88 units were produced in conjunction with the MS-09H Dwadge Custom.
In U.C. 0096, one Dwadge was used by Zeon Remnants to attack the Federation's Torrington Base in combination with a MS-09F/trop Dom Tropen and a MS-06D Desert Zaku. Its group was later destroyed by the regrouping Federation Forces during the Federation's counterattack.
