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.
