Original MS Created by: Marc Daoust
Original Artwork: Marc Daoust
Background: With the MS-09 Dom planed to replace the Zaku II and Gouf as the lead ground combat unit some of the older Zeon pilots simply refused to use them in favour of the older, more familiar mobile suit designs. To appease these veteran pilots the Blitzkrieg Project was started. The plan was to create a Zaku type mobile suit that could match the ground combat abilities of the Dom. After several failures the design team produced two MS-06Xa Prototype Blitzkrieg Zaku. While not as durable as a Dom or able to carry the large Dom Bazooka, this new Zaku held revolutionary new technologies. First was that it mounted a beam sabre similar to the ones used by the Federation’s GMs. Second was the High Effect Hover jets, witch allowed the Zaku to hover over water and provided additional speed and manoeuvrability. With the new Zaku meeting or surpassing all needs of the Zaku fan veterans, production of the MS-06Xb Blitzkrieg Zaku soon began. The production run was short lived however as production was dropped, in favour of the development of the MS-14A Gelgoog, when the Federation began Operation Star One.
