When the Principality of Zeon's invasion of Earth itself began during the One Year War, one problem their military tried to address was developing a high-performance mobile suit for ground combat. Zimmad Company stepped forward with its revolutionary YMS-09 Prototype Dom. An entirely new design line built exclusively for ground combat, the Prototype Dom overcame the slow speed problem found with ground combat mobile suits by adding a series of high-powered thermonuclear jet engines in its legs and waist "skirt" armor. This gave the Prototype Dom the ability to hover along the ground at up to 240 kilometers per hour, and thus also making it extremely maneuverable. Two units were constructed at Zimmad's Side 3 factory and shipped to California Base on Earth for field testing. After the tests proved the design a success, the standard MS-09 Dom went into mass production.
