Introduced early during the One Year War as a replacement for the C-type Zaku II, the F-Type was the most heavily mass-produced version of the Zaku II line and served as the mainstay of the Zeon military. It is the F-type Zaku II that is also the most well-known version of Zeon's mobile suit forces. Although fully capable of operating on Earth, the F-type Zaku II was designed primarily for space combat (although the F-type did see limited use in Earth-based ground combat). A nearly identical variant of the F-type, the J-type Zaku II, was designed and employed as a ground combat unit. The Midnight Fenrir team used various F-types as scouts before Zeon's mass drop operations to invade North America. Many F-types would survive the war and remain in service as part of Haman Karn's Neo Zeon forces during the First Neo Zeon War in UC 0088. These surviving F-types were upgraded with some of the latest technology, including 360 degree panoramic monitors in the cockpit.
