Technical
and Historical Notes
|
When the
Earth Federation Forces began ordering and producing smaller, more
efficient mobile suits, many new designs were adopted in the
early UC 0100s. One of the most successful designs was the RGM-109
Heavygun, and over the course of the next few decades, its
design would be gradually tweaked and upgraded. As a result,
many surplus Heavyguns ended up in the hands of various local
defense forces, including the Macedonia Army, which employed
the RGM-109M-5. Despite the upgrades, the Heavygun's design
was nearly half a century old when the Zanscare Empire began
their militaristic expansion in UC 0153. The Macedonia Army
would field their Heavgun M-5s in resistance, but the mobile
suits - and the effort - would inevitably prove futile.
