In the last weeks of the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon introduces its last mass-produced mobile suit line, the MS-14 Gelgoog. Gelgoog variants also appear to fill specific mission roles, and one variant is the MS-14F Gelgoog Marine. Built exclusively for Zeon's marine troops, the Gelgoog Marine (or "F-type," as it's sometimes called) features improved thrusters, speed and maneuverability, as well as external propellant tanks to increase its range while offsetting the extra fuel used by its more powerful thrusters. The twin beam sword of the original Gelgoog is replaced with two standard beam sabers, and a 110mm machine cannon is mounted on each forearm. The original Gelgoog's large and burdensome shield is replaced with a modified MS-06F2 Zaku II Type F2 shoulder shield, called a "knuckle shield," which can be used as a punching weapon. With its good cost performance, the Gelgoog Marine is perhaps the most heavily mass-produced Gelgoog variant built, with many units surviving the war. The Gelgoog Marine is operated by the Zeon remnant Cima Fleet, and some units are captured by the Earth Federation Forces and deployed as aggressor units for pilot training and mobile suit field tests.
