Arming medium sized anti-tank weaponry, the Petite is not entirely unarmed, and does mount AMBAC and reasonable maneuverability. A sturdier and more agile frame makes it slightly better armored and more maneuverable than the Dracken E, at the expense of armament. Small armor plating gives them good resistance to handheld weaponry, but mobile suit weaponry will still tear it to shreds. However, many models are still used in defense of lunar cities, their governments unable to afford large numbers of Zaku I models.
