Technical
and Historical Notes
|
In
preparation for its planned assault on the Earth Federation Forces'
underground South American Jaburo military headquarters during
the One Year War, the Zeon military forces stationed at California
Base developed a series of specialized mobile suits to aid in
the assault. One of these units was the EMS-05 Agg, designed
primarily to bore through rock and create tunnels for combat
mobile suits to use to invade Jaburo from the inside. The Agg
was equipped with a pair of stubby hovercraft "feet" instead
of standard walking legs, and mounted two large drills on its
arms, a pair of rock grinders/cutters on its shoulders, and
a laser torch in its torso to help in cutting through and breaking
down rubble. Though its combat capability was almost nil, it
could be outfitted with missile launchers in place of its drilling
equipment to serve in a fire support role. However, the Aggs
built at California Base were never deployed, as Zeon's Commander
Char Aznable discovered the secret spacedock entrance to Jaburo
long before the scheduled assault, and launched a hasty attack
with what limited resources he could receive from California
Base in time.
