Technical and Historical Notes
The MS-06F is the Zeon Duchy's general-purpose, general-deployment mobile suit. The F-type Zaku II is the second incarnation of the MS-06 line (the first being the MS-06C, used during the Lourm Campaign), and is intended to be at home in both a terrestrial and space environment. The F-Type Zaku II carries the Zaku's standard armament, including the 120mm machinegun and 280mm bazooka. The traditional heat hawk is also provided. It also equips the land-combat J-Type's cracker grenades. The largest difference between the C-type and F-type is the removal of much of the overly-redundant NCB (Nuclear, Chemical, Biological) protection equipment. As the aforementioned weapons are banned under the Antarctic Treaty, Zeon engineers saw no need to keep the additional weight. The F-type features marginally improved thruster and vernier power and a somewhat improved control system when compared to the C-type. The F-type Zaku II continues to serve as the main front-line mobile suit of the Zeon Space Assault Force, though it is beginning to be phased out in favor of the brand-new Rick Dom.
