One of the MS-09G Dwadge ground combat mobile suits still in use following the One Year War belonged to Desert Rommel, leader of a band of Zeon remnants still operating in Africa. Rommel’s Dwadge was modified and upgraded over the years, and by the time of the First Neo Zeon War in UC 0088, his mobile suit – now designated the MS-09H Dwadge Custom – was a step above the standard model. It featured extra thrusters mounted on its shoulders, and could use a large, hand-operated beam cannon for greater firepower.
