The RGZ-95 ReZEL (Refined Zeta Escort Leader) represented the second attempt by the Earth Federation Forces to mass produce the AEUG’s MSZ-006 Zeta Gundam. The first, the RGZ-91 Re-GZ (Refined Gundam Zeta), was a one-off unit that lacked transformation ability and instead utilized a Back Weapon System (BWS). The ReZEL’s flexible transformation mechanisms were simplified by using the system created for the AEUG’s MSA-005 Methuss. All standard ReZEL units had a thrust limiter installed. The ReZEL’s armaments included vulcan guns, a beam saber, grenade launchers, a beam rifle that doubled as a long beam saber and a shield that mounted a beam cannon. In UC 0096, eight ReZEL units were assigned to the Londo Bell ship Nahel Argama, including an RGZ-95C ReZEL Type C. As the Laplace Incident began to unfold that April, most of the units were destroyed in battles against the Neo Zeon and the Newtype-use mobile suit NZ-666 Kshatriya.
