One of the first new mass production model mobile suits developed by the Earth Federation Forces following the One Year War, the RMS-106 Hizack was closely based on the old Zeon MS-06 Zaku II used during the war. However, it did incorporate many design features that were more up-to-date with the current technology of the mid-UC 0080s. Protected by lighter titanium alloy/ceramic composite armor, the Hizack's solid weight was greatly reduced, allowing it to carry larger-capacity fuel tanks and more powerful thrusters to take advantage of the extra fuel, with the result of greater speed and mobility. The Hizack was also the first mass produced unit to incorporate the new 360 degree panoramic monitor with linear seat style cockpit. The Hizack proved to be a popular model among pilots, as it was easy to operate and easy to maintain. Its only major drawback, however, was the fact that its power generator wasn't good enough to allow the Hizack to effectively use multiple beam weapons. Despite this, the Hizack was one of the most heavily mass produced units found in the field during the Gryps Conflict of UC 0087, and its design would serve as the basis for many future mobile suit models.
