Technical and Historical Notes

As the war with the Moonrace began in CC 2345, Inglessa leader Guin Sard Lineford directed miner Sid Munzer to search the mountains for mobile suits. His search yielded the AMX-109 Kapool, which would become the first mobile suit used in mass numbers by the Inglessa Militia. Though the Kapool's ammunition was no match for the armor of Moonrace suits like the JMA-0530 WaDom, it was extremely effective against other suits like the MRC-U11D WaD. Later, as the Willgem traveled across the ocean in its journey to the Moon, pilot Sochie Heim discovered that the Kapool was well-suited to underwater combat.
