Following the Bloody Valentine War, ZAFT began to develop its next generation of mobile suits. One such design was the ZGMF-XX09T DOM Trooper Original Spec Type, a prototype design that never made it to full production. Instead, the DOM (Defensive Obliterator Magnificent) Trooper’s production line was acquired by forces loyal to Lacus Clyne. Several upgrades were performed to the original design. The Knight Wizard pack was dropped and replaced with an EZ Wizard pack to mount a beam saber. The shield and drill lance were dropped in favor of two “Solidus Fulgor” beam shield generators used by ZAFT’s latest model mobile suits ZGMF-X42S Destiny Gundam and ZGMF-X666S Legend Gundam. The new version of the DOM Trooper was first deployed in late C.E. 73 during ZAFT’s attack on the Orb Union, codenamed Operation Fury. Piloted by three former ZAFT pilots, the DOM Troopers made an impressive show of force against the ZAFT forces with their coordinated Jet Stream Attack. When the battle moved to space, the DOM Troopers participated in the battle to capture the Requiem cannon from ZAFT. During the battle, lead pilot Hilda Harken’s unit was damaged in combat. Soon after, the death of PLANT Supreme Council Chairman Gilbert Durandal and the destruction of the mobile space fortress Messiah marked the end of the war.
