One of the last evolutions of the old Principality of Zeon's MS-09 Dom series, the MS-09G Dowadge (not to be confused with the MS-10 Pezun Dowadge of Zeon's "Pezun Project") continued to be used for several years after the One Year War. By the time of the First Neo Zeon War in UC 0088, the Dowadge was operated by several parties, including the new Neo Zeon military, old African-based Zeon remnants from the One Year War, and the civilian African Liberation Front. Although quite similar to its predecessor, the Dowadge was an improvement over the well-proven and successful Dom in that it also mounted four vulcan guns in the head and carried an external propellant tank on its backpack, thus extending the operational time for using the Dowadge's ground-skimming hovering jets.
