Technical
and Historical Notes
Following
the defeat of the Principality of Zeon at the end of the One Year War
in UC 0079, remnants of the Zeon military fled into exile to
rebuild and renew their war against the Earth Federation at
a later time. One of these remnant groups was Axis, who hailed
from the asteroid base by the same name. The Axis forces rebuilt
their military using what materials they had on-hand, using
the construction mobile suits Gaza-A and AMX-002 Gaza-B to produce their
first mass production combat mobile suit, the transformable
AMX-003 Gaza-C (originally designated MMT-1). Despite the fact
that it was a transformable mobile suit, the Gaza-C featured
simplified transformation systems, making it cheap and easy
to manufacture. Over 100 Gaza-C units would be produced and
deployed when the Axis forces entered the Gryps Conflict in late
UC 0087.
