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 was the MSM-04G Juagg, an amphibious unit designed to provide medium-range fire support for other mobile suits engaged in close combat. Loosely based on the MSM-04 Acguy design, the Juagg mounted a pair of 3-barrel 320mm rocket launchers for "hands," although these could be changed out for normal humanoid-type hands in needed. However, the Juaggs 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.
