Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RMS-007G Juracg Cold Climate Type is a cold region use variant of the original Juracg developed by the Space Revolutionary Army for ground combat. Due to this, its mono-eye sensor, joints, and drive system were adapted to withstand the weather conditions in cold regions. The Juracg Cold Climate Type is nicknamed "Polar Bear" due to the fact that it was operated in snowy regions.
The Juracg Cold Climate Type is equipped with a beam machine gun, which serves as its primary weapon. Furthermore, the Juracg is equipped with two upper torso mounted machine cannons extra fire power. For close quarters combat, the Juracg can be armed with a beam saber. For operations on snowy terrain, the Juracg Cold Climate Type could optionally be equipped with a "sledge," a jet-ski which resembles a snowboard. The sledge allows the Juracg to achieve an overall higher speed on snow, and allow it to outmaneuver most other ground based mobile suits on snowy terrain.
History
The Juracg was developed by the Space Revolutionary Army (SRA) during the 7th Space War exclusively for ground combat. After the war ended, the Juracg, like many other mobile units used during the war, fell into the hands of a number of different groups who operated them for a variety of purposes.
One such group that acquired Juracg Cold Climate Type mobile suits were the people of the North American city, Fort Severn, led by former SRA scientist Nomoa Long. The people of Fort Severn were able to gather a sizable force of Juracg Cold Climate Type mobile suits. Long deploys several Juracg Cold Climate Types to attack the Vulture ship Freeden in A.W. 0015 to capture Tiffa Adill, a genuine Newtype. Having an advantage on the snowy terrain, the Juracg Cold Climate Types were able to hold off the Freedens Gundam mobile suits at bay while Carris Nautilus in his RMSN-008 Bertigo captured Tiffa after she agreed to go with him willingly if he spared Garrod Ran's life.
When Carris defects to the Freeden after having found out Long's true intentions, Ennil El pilots a Juracg Cold Climate Type and, together with a squad of Juracg Cold Climate Types, is able to retrieve Carris so that he could be used to activate and operate the massive Mobile Armor MAN-003 Patulia.
After the establishment of the New United Nations Earth (New UNE), a number of Juracg Cold Climate Types, again under the command of Carris, fights against the New UNE alongside other forces opposing the New UNE forces in North America. One such squad rescues the crew of the Freeden from execution by the New UNE.
