When the Zeonic Company's space combat MS-11 Act Zaku development project was canned, the Zimmad Company quickly responded by making a variant of their well-proven MS-09 Dom ground combat mobile suit. It was near the end of the One Year War of UC 0079, and the Principality of Zeon, realizing that the outcome of the war was going to be decided in space, devoted all of its mobile suit manufacturing resources to space combat units. Refining the Dom design for space was simple, and mostly involved replacing the hover jet thrusters with standard rocket thrusters (and, judging by its lighter empty weight, opening up more interior space for fuel). The result was the MS-09R Rick Dom, and Zeon manufacturers began cranking out hundreds of these new units late in the war, replacing the aging MS-06F Zaku II as the premiere front line combat unit.
