Introduced in the early UC 0090s, the RGM-89 Jegan soon became the Earth Federation Forces' main frontline mass production mobile suit. But as the Earth Federation slipped into stagnation, the advent of new mobile suit technology wouldn't be actively pursued for almost three decades. Over the years, the old Jegans were constantly overhauled and upgraded to keep them in service. One of the many revised Jegan forms still being used during the Crossbone Vanguard invasion in UC 0123 was the RGM-89M Jegan, known as the "B-Type" Jegan. Despite its improved performance and additional firepower (in the form of a pair of 5-tube rocket packs on the hips), the Jegan B-Type was still outmatched by the smaller and faster new mobile suits fielded by the Crossbone Vanguard.
