Throughout the course of the One Year War, Zeon fielded variants of the MS-09R Rick Dom. One such variant was the version used by the Living Dead Battalion at the Thunderbolt Sector in the ruins of Side 4. These units featured sealed joints to protect them from the high amount of space debris in the area. The units mounted a high mobility backpack with with added thrusters, a propellant tank and two sub-arms for holding weapons. These Rick Dom units were armed with a machine gun and heat hawk and also utilized the Big Gun sniping platforms. During one battle, Moore Brotherhood pilot Io Fleming was stranded in space after his RGM-79 GM was destroyed. He forced the cockpit of a Rick Dom to open and shot pilot Hoover Aisla in the head. Io then commandeered the suit and returned with it to his mothership, the Beehive.
