Following the success of the ZM-S06S Zoloat and ZM-S08G Zolo mobile suits, the BESPA forces were alredy hard at work developing the next generation of mass production mobile suits. One of the experimental models developed as part of this project was the ZMT-S12G Shokew, intended as an all-purpose unit capable of operating well in both space and on Earth. Although somewhat lacking in raw speed compared to many other modern mobile suits, the Shokew was developed for agility and maneuverability. Following test flights in space, the Shokew was sent to Earth for testing under full gravity under the care of BESPA's Yellowjacket division. In the end, the Shokew would prove a success in actual combat, and the design would soon be refined and mass produced as the ZM-S22S Rig Shokew.
