Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias is an improved version of the RMS-099 Rick Dias for hit-and-run assault missions. Commander-use version of the suit has a flared-out armor piece on the head, while the standard type has the same head as the Rick Dias. Other differences between the Schuzrum Dias and Rick Dias include the use of different rear skirt armor, knee armor, and the replacement of the booster binders with the new gyre binders. The gyre binders greatly improved the suit's maximum speed, and is also armed with an integrated beam cannon each for better firepower. The suit retains the weaponry of the Rick Dias.
History
The RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias was developed by Anaheim Electronics during the First Neo Zeon War and was deployed by the Republic of Zeon as part of their colony defense forces. However, a few pilots still loyal to the Principality of Zeon's cause defected with their Schuzrum Dias over to Neo Zeon. Later, during the Neo Zeon's internal conflict, several Schuzrum Dias allied with the rebellious Glemy Faction and were painted in that faction's colors.
