One of the Principality of Zeon’s first ships, the Papua class transport ship remained the mainstay of the Zeon logistical fleet for many years until the introduction of the Pazock class. The Papua class ships saw service throughout the One Year War, supplying ships on the front lines independently. These Papuas often carried a small defensive/work contingent of Gattle space fighters and sometimes a MS-05B Zaku I mobile suit for loading and defense. One such Papua was captained by veteran soldier Gadem during the One Year War. In September UC 0079, Gadem was sent to resupply Char Aznable’s Falmer after the first encounter with the Earth Federation Forces’ Operation V mobile suits, and both Gadem and his Papua went down in battle against the EFF’s superior mobile suits.

Some Fan Art I made back in 2018 of my favorite Mobile Suit from Gundam. Still love the one-eyed design, stands out and still looks great. I've also included some process. #gundam #zaku #mobilesuit
