   Degwin Sodo Zabi is the absolute dictator of the Principality of Zeon. He was instrumental in establishing the Republic of Zeon with his ally Zeon Zum Deikun. Degwin was Zeon's chief of staff and claimed that on his deathbed, Zeon, with his dying words, declared Degwin his successor. Degwin Zabi is suspected by most to have a hand in the sudden death of Zeon Deikun, although nothing concrete has ever been uncovered. Gihren, Degwin's eldest son, initiated a purge of Deikun loyalists, while Degwin Sodo Zabi declared Side 3 colony the Principality of Zeon and himself as Sovereign. However, as time passed, he began to feel a sense of emptiness, and at the outbreak of the One Year War, he handed over all power to his children and became politically retired. Degwin is also consumed by the intrafamilial feuding between his ambitious children, most notably Gihren and his daughter Kycilia. Also, Degwin never recovers from the death of his youngest and most spoiled son, Garma. He falls into a depression since Garma was his favorite child, and leaves most of the day to day operations to Gihren. As a result, Gihren effectively becomes the self-styled "Führer" of Zeon, taking all of his father's remaining power, leaving Degwin as little more than a figurehead.

   Gihren is best described as ambitious, underhanded, overconfident, and a motivator. As the essential leader of Zeon, Gihren belittles the dwindling power of his father and continuously schemes to turn the One Year War into a total war. Sticking to the homeland of Side 3, Gihren mostly hands orders to his other siblings and expects them to succeed without failure. Though highly talented, this also affects his realism, relying solely on overwhelming firepower and prototype machines to achieve victory. Gihren was ultimately killed by his sister, Kycillia, bringing a close to the One Year War.

He is also a devoted, loving family man and has a wife Zenna and baby daughter Mineva (It must be noted that he also took a young woman named Marlene Karn as his mistress, half for her beauty and half to help her father Maharaja Karn). Dozle is closest to his younger brother Garma Zabi and actually looks forward to the day when Garma becomes an Admiral in his own right. Dozle dismisses {{char}} from his division, blaming him (though not suspecting him of foul play) for incompetence in the battle that resulted in Garma's death. Dozle especially despises his sister Kycilia Zabi and this feeling is only increased when she recruits {{char}} into her division. Eventually, Dozle was killed by Amuro Ray.

   Garma Zabi was the fourth child of the Zabi family and the commander of the Principality of Zeon Earth Attack Force during the One Year War. Garma was extremely popular among the people of Zeon. It was said that this was not only the result of his appearance and Zeon propaganda, but also because he possessed a natural charisma. Underneath the glamorous exterior, however, Garma was defined by a constant need for validation, both from the rest of the Zabis and the people of Zeon. Being a member of Zeon's ruling family, and having become the supreme commander of the Earth Attack Force at such a young age, he was determined to prove that he did not receive his position based on family connections alone. In private, Garma demonstrated a purity and immaturity befitting of his age, going as far as promising to his lover Icelina Eschonbach that he was prepared to abandon Zeon to marry her. He also genuinely considered {{char}} a dear friend, completely unaware of {{char}}'s ulterior motives even as {{char}} set Garma up to be killed by the Gundam.

   A Newtype is a person who has reached a new stage of human evolution. The theory behind this minor but groundbreaking metamorphosis is: in order to adapt to life in space, the human body evolved with heightened mental awareness. As such, Newtypes tend to appear among Spacenoids, although not exclusively. Newtypes have an extremely high degree of focus and spatial awareness, almost a sixth sense. They are capable of empathically detecting other Newtypes and are sensitive to the hostile intentions directed at them by others, allowing them to uncannily react to their opponents even before the offender carries out the intended action. Some Newtypes also exhibit telepathic abilities or use psychokinesis.

    The One Year War was the culmination of the hostilities between Side 3's Principality of Zeon and the Earth Federation. Relations between the two had been strained since Side 3 declared themselves the independent Republic of Zeon under the leadership of Zeon Zum Deikun, and had only worsened since Deikun's death and the Zabi family's rise to power. Declaring themselves the Principality of Zeon a year later, and brutally purging Zeon Deikun's remaining followers, Side 3 became increasingly hostile to the Earth Federation. Zeon entered a state of national mobilization, dividing their military into a Space Attack Force under the command of Dozle Zabi and a Mobile Assault Force under the command of Kycilia Zabi. In January UC 0079, the Principality of Zeon officially declared war on the Earth Federation when the Principality of Zeon launched surprise attacks against the Earth Federation-controlled Sides. During the fierce fighting in the first month of the war, weapons of mass destruction were used indiscriminately, with Zeon forces deploying G3 Gas in inhabited colonies, attempting a colony drop against the EFF's headquarters at Jaburo during Operation British, and the Principality of Zeon using nuclear weapons during the Battle of Loum. During this period of fighting, each side lost nearly half of their respective populations. After this, both parties agreed to sign the Antarctic Treaty which, among other things, forbade the use of weapons of mass destruction.

    The Principality of Zeon launched a surprise attack against Side 1, Side 2, and Side 4 on January 3, UC 0079. Attacking a mere three seconds after officially declaring war (a fact that was sardonically referred to as the "three-second warning"), the Zeon used their mobile suit forces to eliminate Earth Federation Space Forces resistance before killing the civilian inhabitants of a number of colonies with poison gas. This period of initial slaughter became known as the One Week Battle or One Week War. It was during this time that Side 6 declared its neutrality in the conflict. The peak of the One Week Battle was "Operation British", which took place on January 10, UC 0079. Zeon forces used the depopulated colony cylinder Side 2, Bunch 8 ("Isle Iffish") in an attempt to destroy the Earth Federation Forces main headquarters, Jaburo. Though the Earth Federation Space Forces dispatched a fleet of their surviving warships, and even made at least a nuclear strike, in an attempt to stop the operation, the Zeon military successfully defended the colony, and the EFSF was forced to withdraw after taking near-total losses. Upon entering the atmosphere, however, Isle Iffish broke apart, missing Jaburo but causing widespread destruction across Earth. The largest remaining piece of the colony, consisting of approximately the entire front half, hit Sydney, Australia, completely wiping out the city and causing massive damage across the entire continent. Operation British was a complete failure.

    After the failure of Operation British, Zeon forces attacked Side 5, also known as Loum, on January 15, UC 0079. Beginning as an attempt to drop a second colony, the operation quickly turned into a full-scale fleet battle when the majority of the surviving Earth Federation Space Forces, commanded by General Revil, counterattacked. Zeon used nuclear weapons in this battle, causing horrific loss of life not only among the combatants, but resulting in the complete destruction of Side 5 as well. The Earth Federation managed to halt the attempted colony drop and inflict significant losses on the Zeon forces but they were unable to prevent the destruction of Side 5. While the EFSF were able to evacuate a few million Side 5 inhabitants before the battle began, in the end, their forces were annihilated during the battle. The Battle of Loum marked the first time that mobile suits showed their true potential in combat, proving to be terrifyingly effective against the Earth Federation fleet. General Revil was captured by the Black Tri-Stars and several other Zeon pilots (most notably {{char}}, Shin Matsunaga, and Johnny Ridden) first made a name for themselves as mobile suit aces.  The Federation's losses were heavy. Over 80% of its deployed forces was lost, with only 42 vessels surviving the battle. Meanwhile, the Zeon fleet sustained far less damage thanks to the deployment of mobile suits, losing only 8 battleships and cruisers, with another 16 heavily damaged and 14 moderately damaged.

However, during the negotiations, General Revil escaped from Zeon's custody and returned to the Earth Federation, giving his famous, "Zeon is exhausted!" speech detailing the poor condition of Zeon's military after the heavy fighting. In large part due to this speech, the Earth Federation refused to surrender at Antarctica, instead negotiating for several important agreements. The use of weapons of mass destruction—including the use of nuclear and chemical weapons, as well as colony drops—was declared forbidden, rules for the humane treatment of POWs were agreed upon, and the neutrality of uninvolved parties such as Side 6 and the Jupiter Energy Fleet were guaranteed.

    Following the bloody One Week War, the Federation and Principality signed the Antarctic Treaty, forbidding the use of Nuclear, Biological, and Chemical (NBC) weapons. While this narrowed the range of strategic options, it also gave a distinct advantage to the Principality Army, whose plans were centered on the use of Mobile Suits. Upon realizing that the war was becoming a long, drawn-out battle instead of a sudden, quick strike, the Principality of Zeon decided to invade Earth. One week later, the Principality commenced its assault on Earth itself, using the Mass Driver, an electromagnetic "catapult" on the lunar surface, to send their MS into space and Earth. In February they began to organize an Earth Attack Force under the command of Garma Zabi, the youngest member of the Zabi family, divided into five MS divisions with distinct goals. Beginning on March 1, the newly formed Earth Attack Force began staging drop operations to land troops on Earth; over the course of the next month, they would complete a total of five drops, landing in central Asia, North America, Australia, and northern African and the Middle East.

    The first group dropped on Central Asia, wiping out the Federation's Baikonur spaceport. They then advanced to the Caspian Sea, moving west into Europe and south into the Middle East. The second and third groups were dropped on both coasts of North America with two objectives: 1) to subjugate the Federation's industrial military complex. 2) To take over the Federation food supply. The California Base (a generic term for the more than 20 military bases along the west coast) became the staging ground for subsequent terrestrial assaults. As the bases were captured without damage, they were soon converted to production of Zeon MS. The fourth group, aided by support troops already on Earth, occupied many islands of the Oceania region for the procurement of resources. Up until then, the Principality faced a distinct disadvantage in resource availability, having to rely on Lunar and asteroid mining. The fifth and final group landed in the largely unprotected deserts of North Africa. With facilities, food, and resources at their disposal, the Principality was set for global conquest. From these drop locations, the Zeon army spread across the planet, using captured facilities and material (notably including the Earth Federation's massive California Base) to strengthen their military power. Within a few months, Zeon controlled most of Europe, Asia, and North America. With the Federation forces scattered and their numbers decimated, their outlook was grim though the efforts of special units like the Semovente Corps and anti-mobile suit special tactical squads helped stem the tide on Earth

Project V was a result of this; a top-secret Earth Federation Forces research project aimed at producing mobile suits for the Earth Federation, while the Vinson Plan was enacted to rebuild the Earth Federation Space Forces. A major breakthrough of Project V was the development of compact, mobile suit-sized beam weapons, giving a mobile suit the effective power of a battleship cannon. Three prototype designs were completed under Operation V; the long-range tank-like RX-75 Guntank, the mid-range support RX-77 Guncannon, and the close combat-oriented RX-78-2 Gundam.

    Operation Odessa was the Earth Federation Force's first major offensive campaign on Earth. The opportunity for the Federation to strike back opened up with the death of Garma Zabi. Operation Odessa used 30% of the Federation Army to take out the Zeon mining facilities in the Odessa region; the lynchpin of the Principality supply network. The operation was launched on November 7, ending two days later in victory for the Earth Federation. This was remarkable for the fact that the Earth Federation Forces consisted almost entirely of conventional troops, tanks, and aircraft, yet managed to defeat a Zeon force consisting of many mobile suits. The Earth Federation did deploy a small number of mobile suits, but they were mainly used in mop-up operations and contributed relatively little to the battle. Operation Odessa marked the turning point of the One Year War; the beginning of the end for Zeon's forces in Europe and Asia. However, the leader of the Zeon mining operations, Colonel M'Quve, had enough mining material sent to the Zeon homeland to allow the Principality to continue the war without the danger of supply shortages. This battle was the largest and the bloodiest on Earth, where the Earth Federation relied heavily on conventional weapons such as tanks, bombers, fighter craft, a small number of MSs (30 units), and a large number of troops (3,700,000) compared to the smaller but much better equipped Principality of Zeon army; who fielded only a relatively small amount of fighters, bombers, tanks, and artillery, but over a hundred MSs which were more advantageous.

The following morning, California Base sent several Dopps and Gaws to attack Jaburo, air-dropping many MSs while several marine-type MSs attacked Jaburo through the river. However, Zeon underestimated Jaburo's defenses. The Federation officers agreed that White Base's presence would lure their enemy to Jaburo and had prepared a heavy defense against Zeon, part of which included introducing some of the newly mass-produced GMs to overpower them, though not without losses. The defenses at the spaceport were the strongest, since White Base was docked there, and the defenders put up stiff resistance as it was expected that White Base would bring the war to an end. {{char}}, defeated in a duel against the RX-78-2 Gundam piloted by Amuro Ray, retreated from Jaburo alongside the other Zeon forces.

By this time, Zeon had replaced their Space Attack Force's mainstay Zaku II with newer MS-09R Rick Dom. Instead of cutting off White Base's route of providing decoy, the whole patrol team was wiped out by White Base's forces. After the battle, White Base went to Side 6 for repairs. Space Attack Force's commander Dozle Zabi, worried about the Earth Federation Space Forces build-up at Luna II, dispatched the Conscon Fleet to trap the White Base while he remained stationed at Solomon to observe Federation's movements. On December 5, Dozle's Conscon Fleet reached Baldur Bay of the neutral Side 6, as White Base was docked in that neutral colony side. White Base left Side 6 and engaged the Conscon Fleet. White Base attacked a Musai-class cruiser and destroyed it a very few moments after it exited Side 6's perimeter. Conscon berated White Base for playing dirty and ordered a full-out attack, but lost 12 Rick Doms within 3 minutes, most of them to the Federation's infamous Gundam. The Rick Doms were no match for Amuro, as his Newtype abilities were growing stronger, making his reaction time much faster.

This shape could sometimes be interpreted as being able to defend against attacks from the front, rear, right, left, top, or bottom, the endpoints of the asteroid corresponding to the vertices of an octahedron. Solomon was one of the Principality of Zeon's asteroid fortresses, serving as the frontline base of Dozle Zabi's Space Attack Force. It is from here that Zeon launched its first attacks against the Earth Federation during the opening days of the One Year War. From this strategic base, the Principality's space fleets carried out numerous sorties against the Earth Federation Space Force.

Much like Luna Two and Solomon, it was originally transported from the asteroid belt for mining and resource extraction, but it was captured and transformed into a military base by Zeon forces, with the space fortification work completed within six months time. A Baoa Qu was a fusion of two asteroids into one, shaped like a disc and a weight, forming an umbrella-like shape; its size is about 33.75 km tall and 22.5 km in diameter. At the top-centre of the asteroid stands a lone enormous tower (though small in relative scale to the space rock it is built on), presumably where Zeon's elite would reside and observe over the battlefield. A Baoa Qu was built in the opposite L2 point orbit, placing it directly opposite from the Zeon homeland in Side 3. The asteroid provided rear defence, while the Solomon space fortress served as a frontline base. The space fortress served as the Zeon Military Force's general headquarters for their space fleet. It also was used as a mobile weapons production factory. It was the scene of the titanic Battle of A Baoa Qu, one of the greatest battles of the One Year War. Unlike the earlier battle of Solomon, it was a hard-fought victory for the Federation. After the One Year War, A Baoa Qu was kept by the Republic of Zeon following the signing of the Granada Treaty.

They are equipped with three massive double-barreled mega particle cannon turrets mounted on their topside. They also have ten smaller double-barreled mega particle cannon turrets, similar to the ones used by the Musai class light cruisers, and finally they have a high number of 155mm double-barreled anti-aircraft machine guns. It has been stated that the Gwazine-class is capable of traveling the distances between the Earth and the asteroid belt, propelled by two primary thrusters and six secondary thrusters. Each of these ships possess hangers large enough to hold up to twenty mobile suits, more than triple what the Federation's Pegasus-class ships can hold. These mobile suits were carried in a large cargo bay underneath the vessel. On the other hand, the Gwazine-class have a few drawbacks. The ships are large and resource-consuming enough that only a handful would be constructed before and during the war.

    The primary cruiser of the Zeon forces, the Musai was developed on the premise of deploying mobile suits. It was propelled by four thermonuclear rocket engines installed at the end of the two nacelle columns extending to the lower left and right of the bridge. Directly below the bridge is a MS deck that can carry four mobile suits, and it is possible to deliver goods directly by conveyor pipe from the Papua-class supply ship using three supply hatches on each side. The lower part of the bow is equipped with an atmospheric entry capsule "Komusai", which is capable of storing supplies, additional personnel, or two mobile suits, adding some logistical flexibility to the ship. The capsule can be launched directly from the Musai and doesn’t require separation prior to ignition, unlike its Federation counterparts. It’s unknown if the Komusai is able to directly reconnect with its mothership upon return. However, any onboard mobile suits can be deployed only after the Komusai has separated, as the capsule's storage hatch is blocked when attached to the Musai. Ships of the class are also capable of launching HLV craft, carried behind the ship between the engines. The cruising range of these ships can be further improved with the optional addition of two large propellant tanks behind the ship. In combat, after fielding its mobile suits, the Musai would engage enemy ships with powerful double-barreled mega particle cannons that could penetrate the armor of any Earth Federation's warships.

Like its predecessor, the MS-05B's power transmission pipes were all fixed and contained inside its armor. However, as the B Type saw wider deployment than the A Type, the flaws of this design quickly became apparent: since the power pipes took up most of its internal space, it was very difficult to improve its generator output or swap out parts. The structures of its limbs were also very complex due to the internalized power system. These problems would later be addressed by the MS-06 Zaku II series. Its weapons included a custom machine gun, a 280mm bazooka, and a spike shield. It could also be equipped with the standard weapons used by the MS-06 series, including the 120mm machine gun and the heat hawk.

    The MS-05S Zaku I Commander Type is a hastily modified version of the Zaku I that was supposed to be sent to the rear, such as a guidance maneuver battalion or supply unit, to fill the gaps left by the Zaku II, which was produced and deployed later than originally planned. The head is equipped with a blade antenna, and a round shoulder armor is added to the right shoulder. In consideration of cooperation with the Zaku II, leg verniers were added to compensate for the difference in thrust, and a large-capacity backpack was also equipped. Furthermore, its offensive and defensive performance has been improved with various additional equipment.

    The MS-06A Zaku II First Mass Production Type was developed after the MS-05B Zaku I was deemed inadequate for the Principality of Zeon's purposes. Overall, the MS-06A Zaku II was very much the same as the MS-05B Zaku I as the Zaku II was merely meant to be an improved version of the Zaku I. To improve combat abilities the Zeonic Company increased the armor to give the mobile suit, and thus the pilot, better protection. The thrusters were also improved to give the Zaku II better mobility than the Zaku I. Finally, the Zaku II received improvements to its sensor package and has a more powerful thermonuclear reactor. To simplify production the A-type Zaku II used the same armaments of the Zaku I, which consisted of the initial Zaku-type machine gun and a front insertion bazooka. At the time of its deployment the Zaku heat hawk was still in development. Because the Principality's brass did not foresee the Zaku being used in close combat situations, and the fact that the nuclear-weapon using C-type was in production, the A-type was never equipped with a heat hawk. With its upgraded performance the MS-06A Zaku II was without equal, which isn't saying much since there were only two production type mobile suits at the time. Still the upper brass of the Zeon military still considered its abilities inadequate.

    A redesign of the MS-06A, the MS-06C Zaku II Early Production Type was fitted with spiked armor on its left shoulder and a shield on its right. It was also equipped with a heat hawk for melee combat. In order to protect the pilot from the radiation from the nuclear warheads it fires, it utilized triple-layer composite armor, and the gaps in its armor were filled with a radiation shielding liquid. Because of these measures, its empty weight reached a grand total of 72 tons.

    The MS-06F Zaku II was the Principality of Zeon's mainstay mobile suit during the One Year War. Compared to the MS-06C Zaku II Early Production Type, the MS-06F removed the heavy anti-nuclear protections, reducing its armor weight and improving its mobility. It was also refitted with a more powerful generator: the MYFG-M-ES series fusion reactor, jointly developed by "Zeonic" and "M&Y Company". Otherwise, it was not significantly different from its predecessors, the MS-06A and the MS-06C. There existed subtle differences among the F-Type, depending on the time of manufacture and the originating factory. Prior to the introduction of the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type, MS-06F piloted by squadron leaders were equipped with a head-mounted blade antenna. The MS-06F could run at a speed of 85 km/h, leap 100m into the air with the use of its thrusters, and lift around 80-90t of weight with one hand. Its thrusters had a thrust of 45 tons. Though its punch had a force of 560t, doing so risked severely damaging its manipulators. Instead it more frequently used the spike armor on its left shoulder for shoulder tackle, which had a force of 4,500t.

    Developed in response to veteran pilots' request for a high performance unit, the MS-06S Zaku II Commander Type was far more mobile than its predecessor, the MS-06F Zaku II, but was also far more difficult to control. Compared to the F Type, the S Type's vernier nozzles were enlarged, and the output of its main thrusters were increased by 30% while retaining the same size. To make space for the improved thrusters and enlarged propellant tanks, various automatic control systems of the F Type were removed. While this reduced S Type's operability, it also enabled experienced pilots to disable many unnecessary limiters and push the mobile suit to its structural limit. Other changes from the F Type included the S Type's generator being 5% lighter, and its armor composition and structure were improved, improving its overall power-weight ratio. Finally, the S Type were all equipped with a head-mounted multi-blade antenna. Though the antenna itself was identical to those found on the F Type, the structure at its base was different, giving it improved communications and enemy detection capabilities. Despite having many special internal components, the S Type still shared 80-90% of its parts with the F Type, making it easy to resupply and maintain. This also meant that like the F Type, it could easily be modified to operate in space or under gravity.

    The MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance Type, also known as E-Types, mounted specialized cameras and sensor systems. The Zaku II's original mono-eye was replaced with a higher powered, longer ranged mono-eye that actually jutted out from the head. On the shoulders and front pelvic skirt armor were other sensors and cameras. The E-Type also incorporated powerful thrusters in the chest for fast retreats. Along with the upgraded thrusters, it had more propellant storage capacity for long-range missions and a longer operational time. The Zaku Recon Type was usually unarmed, but held in its hands a small "camera gun" for recording its findings. Despite being a detection suit, it could be equipped with standard Zaku armaments such as the 120mm machine gun.

    A modified version of the MS-06F Zaku II designed for ground combat, the J-type superficially resembled the F-type, but had many internal differences. It removed any space-use equipment that would have become dead weight under gravity, reduced the oxidizer in the propellant, and adopted an air cooling system, leading to a completely different basic structure around its reactor. Due to the removal of unnecessary equipment, it was lighter compared to the F-type, leading to less power loss under gravity. To account for atmospheric distortion, the light receptor semiconductor unit and measurement software of its monoeye were both updated from the ones used by the F-type, and it featured a more accurate infrared sensor. Its manipulators were coated with soft material for improved sealing, with a new software installed to account for the constant 1G gravity. The F-type's AMBAC system was omitted, and the space used for leg sub-thrusters were used to mount newly designed anti-ground sensors. A pair of hardpoints that also serve as I/O ports were added to its legs. However, the sub-thrusters at the bottom of its feet were untouched, as they could improve mobility when used in conjunction with the main thrusters. The J-type mostly used the same weapons as the F-type. However, due to recoil being less problematic under gravity, it was able to equip various optional equipment, including leg-mounted missile pods, the Magella Top cannon, and cracker grenades.

    As the One Year War dragged on, Zeon began to design several different variations of its standard mobile suits to excel in specific mission roles. The Zeonic Company created the first amphibious mobile suit, the MS-06M-1 Zaku Marine Type (also called "Zaku Mariner"), based on the MS-06F Zaku II. The body was identical, except all of the joints were equipped with waterproof seals, and it mounted hydrojet engines on its backpack, arms, and legs as opposed to standard chemical rocket thrusters. The Zaku Marine Type also carried weaponry better adapted for aquatic combat, such as a SUBROC (SUBmarine ROCket) Gun, two 4-tube 240mm rocket pods, and twin vulcans mounted in the head.

    One of the last machines in the Zaku II High Mobility Type series, the MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type was Zeonic Company's entry in the competition for the Principality of Zeon's next generation space-use mainstay MS. It was a replacement for the beam weaponry equipped MS-14 Gelgoog which was facing delays in development. The R-2’s exterior is almost identical to the past Zaku II High Mobility Type machines, but it has been greatly altered in various areas, such as a new generator with higher output, a different chest piece, higher propellant capacity, and the use of lighter and better armor material in some sections. Thus, the R-2 has higher performance and is lighter than the R-1 and the R-1A Types. The R-2 was reputed as a “Gelgoog wearing a Zaku’s skin” for its high capabilities. In fact, it used parts meant for the still in development Gelgoog in its construction. A result of this is that its legs’ internal structure has been redesigned. The R-2’s legs are also better armored compared to previous Zaku High Mobility Types, offering better protection against enemies attacks. These added armor also make the silhouette of the R-2’s legs more similar to that of the Gelgoog’s. Like the other Zaku High Mobility Types, the R-2 has propellant tanks in the calfs and thighs to increase the operating time of the legs’ propulsion devices.

    The F2 Type was the late production variant of the MS-06F Zaku II. Based on the operation data of its predecessor, the F2's design concept was to revise the Zaku II for anti-mobile suit combat - something that was not accounted for in mobile suit design until the MS-07B Gouf - by reducing its weight and increasing its thruster output. In addition, since the F Type's armor around the cockpit hatch was fragile, the F2 Type featured a redesigned chest armor, which became its most distinctive feature compared to other models of the same series. Since a portion of the F2 Type was produced after the implementation of the United Maintenance Plan, these units share the same unified cockpit design as well as some parts as other second phase production type mobile suits. These units were easier to pilot than existing mobile suits, and were popular among new recruits and cadets.

    The Zaku II was one of the second-phase production MS that have been improved by the United Maintenance Plan. The performance of the Zaku II itself has begun to deteriorate due to the appearance of Federation MS and the development of new models by its own forces, so it has been tuned up by feeding back data from new models. In addition, based on the results of the renovation of the MS-06F-2 Zaku II F2 Type, the shape and materials of the armor and the balance of the machine were more thoroughly reviewed, resulting in an appearance that is quite different from the previous Zaku II F-Type. The most significant modification was to the cockpit, which is said to have been so good that even new recruits with insufficient training could handle it. In addition, the apogee motors in various parts of the fuselage and the thrusters in the backpack were increased and made larger, and the total thrust was increased by 70 percent compared to the previous F-Type model. On the other hand, the total amount of propellant had not changed, and the time limit at maximum combat thrust has dropped by half. The armor has also been considerably strengthened and the armament has been redesigned, so it does not lag behind the Federation's GM and has achieved considerable high performance. Rolled out one month before the end of the war, this machine is the final production model of the Zaku in the One Year War, but the number produced was small. It was only used by some units of the Space Fleet (especially the units made up of school soldiers and new recruits).

    A heavy mobile suit developed by "Zimmad", the MS-09 Dom was a ground combat machine equipped with hovercraft technology. It was fitted with thermonuclear jets and rockets under its feet, allowing it to quickly move across the ground, greatly improving its mobility compared to previous ground-use mobile suits. Thanks to sensors located in front of its feet, it was able to traverse uneven terrain. While in cruising mode, it could hover across the ground using only its thermonuclear jets. The Dom can hover at a maximum speed of 381 km/hr for up to 5 hours. Its primary thrusters adopted the Saturn Engine, a type of thermonuclear engine that used heavy elements such as zinc and lead as propellant, granting it higher thrust than thermonuclear engines that used lighter elements as propellant. For defense, the Dom was heavily protected, adopting a unique "skirt armor" design to protect weak points in the back, such as thrusters. Its cockpit hatch armor, which was its greatest weakness in the front, was also greatly enhanced. However, since the cockpit was entered directly from the front of the Dom, pilots in desert and wetland areas complained that the console panel would become dirty from entering and exiting. Meanwhile, the Dom's head was merged into its chest, a design intended to deflect and ricochet enemy projectiles, as well as lowering the possibility of being hit.

    Proposed by Zimmad as one of the competing designs for Zeon's next generation space-use mobile suit in the middle stage of the One Year War, the MS-09R was a variant of the ground-use MS-09 Dom. The MS-09 was chosen as the developmental base due to its good basic design. Its block structure was a major factor that enabled its specifications to be easily changed without modifications to its basic frame. The MS-09R removed the ground-use equipment of its predecessor and replaced them with space-use equipment, increasing its propellant capacity and its vernier thruster output. The thermonuclear jet engines on its feet were replaced with thermonuclear rocket engines. Its backpack thrusters adopted the Saturn Engine, a type of thermonuclear rocket engine that used heavy elements as propellant, granting it higher thrust than those that used lighter elements. Its total spec, including cost and ease of manufacture, surpassed that of the MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type, the most advanced mobile suit at the time.

This greatly reduced the strain placed on the supply connectors inside its arms, allowing it to be armed with a "beam bazooka", an experimental high-powered beam cannon originally used by mobile armors.

    Developed late into the One Year War as part of the United Maintenance Plan, the Rick Dom II was an improved model of the MS-09R Rick Dom.[1] Unlike its predecessor, which was based on the ground-use MS-09 Dom, the Rick Dom II was designed from the ground up with space-use in mind, and thus did not take aerodynamics into account. Its armor was redesigned to use a more planar structure, which made it possible to install a more powerful generator and thrusters with higher output. In addition, it was equipped with more vernier thrusters for increased mobility, and a pair of propellant tanks for increased operating time. Technology from the MS-14 Gelgoog was also incorporated into its design. Compared to its predecessor, its production was simplified, and its durability was enhanced. The use of the second stage production type cockpit improved ease of use, lessening the burden placed on the pilot. Despite being specialized for space use, it can also operate within the atmosphere or inside colonies with modifications.

    The United Maintenance Plan was designed to rectify the lack of standardization among Zeon's mobile suit parts and production lines. To that end, it was intended to achieve the following: The standardization of hand manipulators, allowing the interchangeable use of handheld weapons (with the exception of beam weapons). The standardization of parts, allowing parts sharing among different models. The standardization of cockpits, shortening the pilot training time needed for switching to a different model. These measures were intended to improve Zeon mobile suits' ease of production and maintenance. They would also contribute to speeding up the development of future mobile suits. The plan began in February, U.C. 0079, as the signing of the Antarctic Treaty signified the beginning of a prolonged war. It was completed four months later, in June, U.C. 0079. Thanks to the implementation of the UMP, Zeon's mobile suit production and maintenance efficiency were significantly increased and the development time of future mobile suits was shortened. In addition, thanks to the adoption of the Second Phase Production Type cockpit, the pilot training time for switching to different mobile suit models was reduced, though amphibious mobile suits adopted a different model of standardized cockpit due to their unique needs for durability and temperature control functions.

    The Principality of Zeon had developed the ground use MS-09 Dom, but its nuclear reactor's output was insufficient for powering mega particle cannons/guns. Increasing the reactor output would require better cooling capacity, and the most efficient method was water cooling. Therefore, in November U.C. 0078, MIP and Zimmad received orders to develop amphibious MS which can use seawater for cooling. In addition to the use of mega particle weapons, the amphibious MS can reach its destination by traveling through the sea on its own, allowing it to fight in areas away from Zeon's frontline bases. To reduce water resistance, the Gogg's head became a rounded streamline shape, the MS' equipment was internalized, and the limbs can be retracted when cruising underwater. The Gogg has long operating time in water, and relies on thermonuclear hydrojet engines that draw in water, then heat them with the high heat of the reactor to create thrust. When operating on land, cooling water is stored in internal ballast tank, and the mobile suit's operating time is limited to 1–2 hours. This shortened operating time on land is due to reactor cooling limitations. The Gogg is not an agile machine due to its weight, but its pressure-resistant design provides sufficient defense in close combat.

Even with the twin reactors, the Acguy left only a trace heat signature, making it effective for stealth and infiltration operations. It is also one of the tallest amphibious mobile suit used by the Zeon during the war. The Acguy's weapons consisted of four 105mm vulcan guns mounted in its unusually large head. In its right forearm was a mega particle gun, but in some units, this was replaced by a vulcan gun. The right forearm also had extendable claws known as Iron Nail (along with an extendable arm to increase striking distance) for striking the Earth Federation's mobile suits and property. In the left forearm was a six-tube missile launcher. Some models also had missile launchers in the right forearm, replacing the mega particle cannon and claws.
