Technology & Combat Characteristics

The OMS-06RF RF Zaku is the product of combining original Zeon mobile suit designs with the designs of AMS-119 Geara Doga. Although its outward appearance was virtually identical to the original MS-06 Zaku II (but the outside pipes are all dummies), it was constructed from modern materials making it much lighter. Similarly, its internal components were based on the Geara Doga's and because of improvement in technology, the RF Zaku not only had a higher performance than the original Zaku, but it could even out-perform the Geara Doga in some areas.

History

Built by the Mars Zeon faction stationed on Mars, the RF Zaku resembled the old MS-06 Zaku II series of mobile suits. In the year U.C. 0122 Mars Zeon attempted to invade the Earth Sphere, using the RF Zaku as their primary front-line mobile suit. However despite being one of the more advanced machines Zeon-affiliated movements, most of its technology was based on machines that were decades old. In terms of speed and maneuverability it could not compare to the miniaturized RGM-109 Heavygun and F71 G-Cannon mobile suits that the Earth Federation Forces were deploying to replace the aging RGM-89 Jegan.
