Another mobile suit developed in anticipation of their assault on Earth during the First Neo Zeon War, Neo Zeon's AMX-102 Zssa was designed as a long-range bombardment unit for attacking targets from behind the front lines. Intended to work in concert with the AMX-101 Galluss-J, the Zssa was armed with 44 missiles as its primary armament. In addition to beam sabers, a scattering beam gun, and a pair of vulcan guns for closer-range and melee combat, the Zssa could also be fitted with an optional pair of shoulder missile pods containing 7 additional missiles each. An optional booster could also be mounted on the Zssa's back, giving the mobile suit an additional 8 missiles and the ability to fly in the atmosphere, allowing the Zssa to conduct aerial bombardments. The Zssa proved itself quite effective as a long-range strike unit, and it was one of the most commonly mass-produced Neo Zeon mobile suits used in the war.
