Despite the expansion of the United Earth Sphere Alliance’s spheres of influence and military strength, some pockets of people in the Earth Sphere continued to resist despite the overwhelming odds. One of these groups was the Maganac Corps (“maganac” being taken from the Tagalog word for “family”), a band of Arabic freedom fighters operating primarily out of the Middle East region of Earth. They built their own frontline mobile suit, the WMS-03 Maganac, and it proved itself to be slightly more formidable than OZ’s mainstay unit, the OZ-06MS Leo, in terms of fighting ability and firepower (as well as due to the more disciplined skills of the Maganac pilots). The Maganac Corps operated their Maganac units for several years, hiding from the UESA and OZ at times while resisting fiercely at others. Many of the Maganac Corps’ members also customized their own Maganacs in one way or another, either cosmetically, or in the case of the Corps’ squad leaders, with additional armor and weapons.
