The first mass produced mobile suit used by the Zanscare Empire’s BESPA forces, the ZM-S06S Zoloat was designed to function primarily as a space combat unit. In addition to a high performance level (at least, compared to the outdated mobile suits used by the stagnant Earth Federation Forces), the Zoloat was also equipped with a wide variety of weapons, including the new beam strings weapon, which can be used both for offense/cutting and grappling targets. Following an initial run of the slightly different Zoloat Early Type, the highly dependable and versatile Zoloat remained in BESPA’s service throughout the entire Zanscare War of UC 0153. Its design served as the basis for other, more advanced mobile suits, including the ZM-S06G Zollidia, ZM-S08G Zolo and ZM-S09G Tomliat.
