Technical
and Historical Notes
In preparation
for its Earth Cleansing Project, the Zanscare Empire's BESPA
forces developed several new specialized mobile suits to assist
in this operation of "bloodless" genocide. One of these new
units was the ZM-S20S Jabaco, designed specifically for close
quarters melee combat. Its primary weapon were the pair of heat
rods stored in the forearm, backed up by a pair of beam sabers.
Although the Jabaco could also carry a beam rifle for ranged
firepower, its heat rods alone made this mobile suit a deadly
foe up-close. The Jabaco also shared a rather unique design
feature in common with the ZM-S14S Contio,
that being its rear torso-mounted cockpit access hatch.
