Technical and Historical Notes

As the major world powers waned in the late 210s, private businesses and other regional firms began to step into the political vacuum, often to continue the exploitation of natural resources. One such industrial conglomerate, the Egypt-based Bar-Kemal Limited, added mobile suits to its manufacturing retinue at this time. The WMS-03 Maganac series formed the base of this new privately-constructed mobile suit line.

One rather conservative variant, the Reinforced Maganac, is exactly what it claims to be up-front: a version modified for a sturdier construction. Specifically, the areas around the torso were fortified and enlarged to provide greater armor protection to areas commonly damaged in combat. A larger set of thrusters was added to help compensate for the increased bulk, and the Maganac's reactor was upgraded to provide greater motive power (and, as a side effect, and improvement in physical strength). In all other areas the Reinforced Maganac differs little from its standard counterpart.
