The RX-107 Rozet Land Battle Reinforced Type was a ground combat form of the RX-107 Rozet used by the Murphy team during its assault on Karaba’s Kamchatka base. This form was equipped with option parts for high-speed ground combat, and was capable of high-speed hover movement. Powerful nuclear thermal jet engines were installed in its optional hovering skirt unit, and the thrust they produced made floating movement possible. Unlike nuclear thermal rockets which obtained thrust by consuming propellant, these nuclear thermal jets used the atmosphere as a medium, so they consumed little propellant and provided a longer operating time. Several ideas were considered and discarded between the Proposed Plan and the final version. The hovering skirt unit was originally intended to house a compact Minovsky craft system, but this was omitted because the system couldn’t be made small enough. The unit was developed with flight in mind, but it failed to produce enough thrust, so its function was shifted to that of a high speed hover unit. Because the nuclear thermal jet engines of the Land Battle Reinforced Type drew in air and used it as a medium to produce thrust, they could essentially travel only straight ahead, making them useless for sharp turns and sudden changes of direction. Its hovering skirt unit contained two of the generator units seen in other TR series machines. The mobile suit itself was converted to the same version as the standard RMS-108 Marasai, and the latches attached to its back and right shoulder could support a shield booster and the large beam rifle used by the atmospheric version of the NRX-044(R) Prototype Asshimar TR-3 “Kehaar” Space Type. Its chest was protected by an armor unit similar to that of the RMS-106C Hi-Zack Cannon with Armor Unit, with a spread beam gun installed in the center.
