Before Zeon's new mass-produced MS-14A Gelgoog went into production - pending the completion of Zeon's beam weapon technology research - 30 test units of the Gelgoog line were put into service in October UC 0079. Assigned the model number MS-14S (originally YMS-14), 29 of these test Gelgoogs were given to Zeon's elite "Ace Corps" for trials and field testing in the Corregidor Shoal Zone before actual mass production began. The 30th MS-14S was assigned to Zeon ace pilot Char Aznable, who used his Gelgoog in combat for the first time against the Federation's powerful RX-78-2 Gundam mobile suit inside the abandoned Texas Colony at Side 5. Following the Corregidor testing, the rest of the prototypes were also put into combat.
