Technology & Combat Characteristics

A variant of the OMS-09RF RF Dom used by Mars Zeon in the early UC 0120s. The RF Desert Dom is designed for use in the harsh desert and tropical climate regions of Earth, equipped with shielding and dust covers over its joints and other internal systems as necessary. The RF Desert Dom is also outfitted with high-powered jet thrusters in its legs, allowing the mobile suit to hover across desert sand dunes at very high speed.

History

Built by the Mars Zeon faction stationed on Mars, the RF Desert Dom resembled the old MS-09R-2 Rick Dom II mobile suit. In the year U.C. 0122 Mars Zeon attempted to invade the Earth Sphere, using the RF Desert Dom as their primary desert and tropics 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.
