The F/D-19 Zowort was a mass production mobile suit manufactured by Peil Technologies, a company known for its airborne mobile suits. Despite its heavy upper body, the Zowort was capable of unassisted flight thanks to its lightweight chassis and the triangular thrusters mounted on its back and legs. It featured two vectored boosters on its backpack that improved the suit’s airspeed and increased its cruising radius. The Zowort was designed for mid- to long-range combat and lacked defensive armaments, so its pilots were instructed to engage enemies at a distance. Its armaments were limited to a pair of beam sabers and a beam gun. Peil also manufactured an improved version, the F/D-20 Zowort Heavy.
