Technical and Historical Notes |
Following the end of the One Year War at the Battle of A Bao A Qu on 31 December UC 0079, many remnants of the Zeon military went into exile, surviving and rebuilding their forces as best they could until they could renew the war against the Earth Federation. One remnant was the Delaz Fleet, and it built an exclusive new mobile suit with salvaged parts and mobile suit components. Called the MS-21C Dra-C, it was a space-only, fast interception mobile suit, armed only with a 40mm vulcan gun on its right arm and a beam saber-equipped shield on the left arm. Its torso and arms were salvaged from a MS-06F2 Zaku II, but it mounted a pair of large propellant tanks in place of legs. Since it resembled a mobile armor as much as it did a mobile suit, the Dra-C was not equipped with an AMBAC (Active Mass Balance AutoControl) system, instead relying on main thrusters and a pair of large, vernier-laden shoulder pods for attitude control.
