Requiring test data for its in-development space combat MS-09R Rick Dom, Zimmad Company modified a standard MS-06F Zaku II with a pair of larger, thruster-laden legs to increase its performance and simulate the characteristics of the Rick Dom. This unit was piloted by Aina Sahalin, but was destroyed during a test flight near Earth while fighting – much to everyone’s surprise – by a RB-79K Ball Type K on October 6, UC 0079. Fortunately for Zimmad, Aina managed to escape from the destroyed mobile suit with her test flight data intact.
