Technical and Historical Notes

The MS-06W Worker Zaku was developed entirely for labor, such as hauling cargo. These suits were used in Western Asia during the One Year War. The existing cockpit was altered and constructed from a cockpit of a worker vehicle, and had an overhang like the MS-06V Zaku Tank. A winch was attached to the left arm and the right arm had a shovel. Since the Worker Zaku used a Zaku frame it was an excellent suit for labor. Because the Principality was worried about a shortage of resources they shifted their efforts towards the Zaku Tank which used many of the same parts.
