BACKGROUND

 the One Year War, the Principality of Zeon military introduced the mobile suit, a new combat weapon for a new type of war. The most heavily mass-produced and most well-known mobile suit model built during the war was the MS-06F Zaku II, and its combat role versatility and easy-to-master controls made it popular among mobile suit pilots. Midway through the war, the Zeonic Company introduced an upgraded version of the Zaku II, the MS-06F2, or F2-type. The F2-type was lighter, making it more fuel efficient and giving it a longer flight time, and it sported an upgraded, more powerful generator. The armor protecting the cockpit was also improved, as well as its overall performance, putting it on a more equal footing with the Earth Federal Forces' RGM-79 GM. The F2-type could also be fitted with a pair of solid rocket boosters on its backpack, giving it a very brief but tremendous increase in overall thruster output; this option allowed ground-based Zakus to temporarily become airborne to attack low-altitude aircraft. Though the introduction of the F2-type came later in the wat, it was used by forces such as the Midnight Fenrir team. After the war, many F2-types remained in service - some being retained by remnant Zeon forces waiting for their revolution to restart, and some being captured by Federation forces and put to work as aggressor units in squadrons conducting pilot training and mobile suit field testing.

1. Destroying the head of the mobile suit will knock out the mobile suit's major sensor systems, including all of the optics systems (infrared, nightvision, thermal) and radar systems. The pilot will still have limited field of vision with the mobile suit's four backup cameras.
2. Destroying one thruster will reduce the flight speed of the mobile suit in space by 15%. Destroying all four thrusters will force the mobile suit to rely on leg verniers and AMBAC systems for mobility. (- 5 to dodge) Destroying the main vernier pack completely will cause an additional 2D6x10 M.D. to the main body.
3. Depleting the MDC of the cockpit will kill the pilot instantly and render the mobile suit useless.
4. Depleting the MDC of the Main Body will destroy the mobile suit, probably killing the pilot as well.

Total vernier output rated at 43300 kg

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

1. 340mm BAZOOKA (1): This rocket firing weapon is one of the most powerful in the Zeon arsenal, used to great effect in the One Year War against Federation Warships.

   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Anti-warship/anti-mobile armor
   • SECONDARY PURPOSE: Heavy assault
   • RANGE: 10,000 meters
   • DAMAGE: 3D6x10 MD per shell (blast radius 14 meters)
   • RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the total number of attacks of the pilot, usually four to six shots per round
   • PAYLOAD: 7 round magazine with one in the breach. The GM can carry up to two spare clips on waist armor.

2. MMP-80 90mm MACHINEGUN: Based on original incarnations of the Zaku rifle.

   • Primary Purpose: Anti-mobile suit
   • Secondary Purpose: Close combat
   • RANGE: 900 meters
   • DAMAGE: 1D6x10 MD for a short burst 2D6x10 for a long burst, 3D6x10 for full melee burst
   • RATE OF FIRE: equal to the total number of the pilots attacks, usually four to six bursts per melee
   • PAYLOAD: The machine gun has a 100 round drum, equal to 20 short bursts, 10 long bursts or 5 full melee bursts. The mobile suit can carry up to two spare clips on his shield, but they will become unusable if the shield is destroyed.

3. HEAT HAWK (1): The Zaku can be equipped with a reinforced titanium hatchet with a heated blade, mainly intended for use against warships or for demolition of enemy fortifications. The heat hawk can penetrate just about any armor material known to man, can can even deflect other melee weapons, including most Zeon heat blades and even beam sabers

   • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Demolition
   • SECONDARY PURPOSE: close combat
   • RANGE: N/A (Used in hand to hand combat)
   • DAMAGE: See Close Combat
   • RATE OF FIRE: Equal to the number of attacks of the pilot (usually four to six attacks)
   • PAYLOAD: Heat hawk has enough battery power for ten minutes of continued operation. (Battery can be recharged by Zaku's reactor when not in use).

4. CLOSE COMBAT: If necessary, the Zaku can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The mobile suit is failry agile and can execute some typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc.

DAMAGE (BEAM SABER):

1. One handed Slash: 3D6x10 M.D.

2. Two handed Slash: 3D8x10 M.D.

3. Boosted Chop: 4D8x10 M.D.

DAMAGE (HAND TO HAND):

4. Restrained Punch: 2D6 M.D.

5. Full Strength Punch: 1D4x10 M.D.

6. "Booster" Punch: 1D6x10 M.D. (counts as two attacks)

1. Tear or Pry with Hands: 3D6 M.D.

2. Kick: 4D6 M.D.

3. Leap Kick: 4D8 M.D.

4. Body Flip/Throw: 2D6 M.D.

5. Body Block/Tackle: 4D6 M.D.

6. Stomp: 2D6 M.D. (only effective against small objects)

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE ZAKU-II:

• COMBAT COMPUTER: The MS-06F2 is equipped with an advanced combat computer, highly upgraded from previous Zaku variants. The combat computer tracks and identifies specific enemy targets, and has a databank of over 300 images stored in memory. The computer can identify and track up to 30 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: NIGHTVISION: Range: 4000 feet (1220 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: INFRA RED: Range: 4000 feet (1220 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 +10% bonus to pilots using a tracking skill.

• RADAR: 200 mile (321 km) range (Reduced to 3 kilometers in the presence of Minovsky jamming)

• RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION: Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay. Can be bypassed by laser communications. (Reduced to thirty meters or else physical contact for "skin talk" communication in the presence of Minovsky jamming)

• RADAR/MINOVSKY JAMMING GEAR: Since the discovery of the Minovsky particle and their ability to negate radar signals over long distances, most mobile suits such as the MS-06F2 typically include a diffusion port from the main fusion reactor from which Minovsky particles can be drawn and scattered into the outside world. When Minovsky particles are at combat density, the effective range of any radar is reduced to 3 km, and anyone attempting to use a radar-guided system from farther than 3 km automatically misses.
• FLARE GUN: When long range communications are not available, mobile suits and warships typically use colored flares to communicate simple messages back and forth. Because signal flares attract much attention, only the field commander may authorize or deploy signal flares in combat.

COMBAT BONUSES FOR MOBILE SUIT TRAINING:

• Basic training for all Zeon mobile suit pilots.
• 1 attack per melee (plus those of the pilot).
• Add one additional action/attack at levels three, six, eleven, and fifteen.
• +1 to strike
• +1 to parry
• +2 to dodge
• +2 to roll with a punch or fall with an impact, reducing damage by half.
• No leap dodge/kick
• Critical strike same as pilot's hand-to-hand.
• Body block/tackle/ram - 1D6 M.D. plus a 50% chance of knocking an opponent down, causing him to loose initiative and one attack that melee round.
