Technical
and Historical Notes
|
One of the Principality of Zeon's first ships, the Papua
class transport ship remained the mainstay of the Zeon logistical
fleet for many years until the introduction of the Pazock
class. The Papua
class ships saw service throughout the One Year War, supplying
ships on the front lines independently. These Papuas often
carried a small defensive/work contingent of Gattle
space fighters and sometimes a MS-05B Zaku
I mobile suit for loading and defense. One such Papua was
captained by veteran soldier Gadem during the One Year War. Gadem
was sent to resupply Char Aznable's Musai
after the first encounter with the Federation Forces "Project
V" mobile suits, and both Gadem and his Papua were
destroyed in battle.
