Technical and Historical Notes

Late in the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon rolls out its final mass production mobile suit, the MS-14A Gelgoog. In order to combat the varied and harsh environments on the Earth, the MS-14D Desert Gelgoog is created for use in desert and tropical locations. The cooling systems have been upgraded to deal with the extreme heat and dust sealing is performed on the body. The Desert Gelgoog is equipped with a scope for use during travel or for hiding in the sand to prepare an ambush. The Desert Gelgoog is armed with a beam rifle and armed buster, but it lacks the twin beam sword used by the standard Gelgoog. The Desert Gelgoog enters the war too late to be mass produced, but remnants of the Zeon military continue to operate in Africa after the war's end.
