BACKGROUND

Introduced early during the One Year War as a replacement for the C-type Zaku II, the F-Type was the most heavily mass-produced version of the Zaku II line and served as the mainstay of the Zeon military. It is the F-type Zaku II that is also the most well-known version of Zeon's mobile suit forces. Although fully capable of operating on Earth, the F-type Zaku II was designed primarily for space combat (although the F-type did see limited use in Earth-based ground combat). A nearly identical variant of the F-type, the J-type Zaku II, was designed and employed as a ground combat unit. The Midnight Fenrir team used various F-types as scouts before Zeon's mass drop operations to invade North America.

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE MS-06F ZAKU II:

• COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: The MS-06 is equipped with a combat computer that can store and analyze data during combat with hostile forces. Data readouts and stats can be displayed either on the cockpit's HUD display or on the dashboard monitors of the aircraft. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a database of over 1,000 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 75 targets simultaneously.
• EXTERNAL AUDIO PICKUP: Range: 300 ft (91.5 m). A sound amplification system that can pick up normal conversation up to 300 feet away.
• HEAT AND RADIATION SHIELDS: Special shielding prevents the penetration of life threatening heat and radiation. A radiation detection and alarm system are linked with the shields and will sound an alarm if there is a rupture in the shields and what the levels of radiation are.
• LOUDSPEAKER: A loudspeaker system is built into the craft, which can be used to amplify the pilot's voice up to 90 decibels.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the mecha's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive light image intensifier that emits no light of its own, but relies on ambient light which is electronically amplified to produce a visible picture.
• OPTICS: THERMAL IMAGER: Range: 2000 feet (610 m). A passive optical heat sensor that detects infrared radiation projected by warm objects and converts that data into a false-color visible image. The system enables the pilot to see in the dark, in shadows, and through smoke, and also adds a +2 bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.
• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: The MS-06 features a radio system that allows visual communication at close range through Minovsky Particles.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: All Zeon MS’s come equipped with a portable survival kit. Inside the small reinforced box is a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The MS-06's cockpit is pressurized, and also provides additional air feeds to the pilot's flight suit that provides him with pressurized breathing. The Zeon flight suit also contains an upper and lower g-suit that promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of pilot blacking out in combat.
• SHIELD: The MS-06S is equipped with a light shield on its left arm.
