At the end of the One Year War, many Zeon remnants fled the Earth Sphere to the asteroid base Axis, determined to regroup and rebuild their forces before renewing their revolution against the Earth Federation. The MS-14 Gelgoog, the last mass-production mobile suit fielded by the Zeon military during the war, had proven itself as an excellent high-performance unit. However, more powerful and advanced mobile suit technology was being developed in the Earth Sphere, and Axis had to keep up and train its pilots to handle better mobile suits. Thus, Axis upgraded its surviving Gelgoog units into the MS-14J ReGelg (short for "REfined GELGoog"). The ReGelg now sported large shoulder armor binders, each housing additional thrusters and verniers for extra speed and maneuverability. Two external propellant tanks were added to the backpack to provide an extended flight range on par with lighter and more modern mobile suits. A backpack missile pod, forearm grenade launchers, a pair of beam sabers, and a beam rifle rounded out the armament. With these new features, the ReGelg was a tremendous improvement over its successful, tried-and-true previous form. Axis (later Neo Zeon) would continue to use their ReGelgs for several years, with one unit operated by ace pilot Illia Pazom during the First Neo Zeon War in UC 0088.
