Technical
and Historical Notes
|
An
improved version of the MS-14F Gelgoog
Marine, the MS-14Fs Gelgoog Marine Commander Type first
appeared in the last days of the One Year War. It was only a
mild improvement over the standard F-type;
the only real differences were a slight increase in thruster
output, speed and maneuverability (including improved cooling
systems to deal with the additional heat), as well as the addition
of a pair of head-mounted 40mm vulcan guns, a heavy beam rifle,
and a large shield similar to that of the original MS-14A
Gelgoog. However, its cost performance was poor compared
to the standard F-type Gelgoog Marine,
and the Commander Type saw very limited production. It is unknown
how many of these units survived the war, although at least
one unit was known to be used by Lieutenant Colonel Cima Garahau
during "Operation Stardust" in UC 0083.
