Technology & Combat Characteristics
A late production model of the RB-79 Ball, the Ball Type C featured minor updates and was introduced near the end of the One Year War. Also known as "Ball Kai", it has an additional claw on each arm for handling larger objects, and more thrusters for attitude control. However, its basic combat capabilities were the same as the original Ball.
History
The RB-79C Ball Type C was created near the end of the One Year War, and after the war, the RB-79 Balls that continued to be used by reconnaissance and air defense units were modified into this configuration. The Ball Type Cs were also sold to civilians during the post-war period. In U.C. 0083, the Ball Type Cs were utilized in the installation and security of the Solar System II, a superweapon that was the Earth Federation Forces' last-ditch attempt to stop the colony drop by the Delaz Fleet, a remnant group of the Principality of Zeon.
