Technical
and Historical Notes
Neo Zeon's elite Royal Guard
squadron, charged with the protection of their leader Haman
Karn, operated a handful of customized mobile suits during the
Axis War. One of these units, Royal Guardsman Lance Gylen's
AMX-117L Gazu-L, was modeled after the Earth Federation Forces'
mass-produced RMS-117
Galbaldy b.
With a more powerful reactor and armament geared to melee combat,
the Gazu-L was highly distinguished by its eye-catching red-on-white
paint scheme and the large, flared armor on its left shoulder.
Designed to operate in tandem with its twin, Nee Gylen's AMX-117R
Gazu-R, the Gazu-L would typically escort either Haman Karn's
AMX-004 Qubeley or Royal Guard
leader Chara Soon's AMX-015 Geymalk
on its left flank.
