Originally introduced in UC 0090 shortly before the Second Neo Zeon War, the RGM-89 Jegan became the Earth Federation Forces’ new primary frontline mass production mobile suit. However, the EFF was slowly slipping into stagnation, and it wouldn’t be until almost three decades later that newer, smaller, and more efficient and high performance mobile suits were developed. Up until that time, the old Jegans were constantly overhauled and upgraded to keep them in service. One of these revised Jegan forms which saw action during the Crossbone Vanguard invasion in UC 0123 was the RGM-89J Jegan Type J. Despite its increased power output, speed and maneuverability, the Type J was still highly outmatched by the smaller and faster new mobile suits fielded by the Crossbone Vanguard.
