Technical and Historical Notes

During the One Year War, the Earth Federation Forces were at a disadvantage due to their late start in mobile suit development. As a stopgap measure, they refitted the SP-W03 Space Pod into the combat model RB-79 Ball. In addition to the standard model and the the RB-79K type, the EFF also produced the RB-79C Ball Type C. It featured an extra set of manipulator arms to handle larger objects. After the One Year War, most of the Balls were disassembled, but some were kept in service defending military bases. During Operation Stardust in late UC 0083, many C Types were used to guard the Solar System II and its fleet of ships.
