Webmaster's note: The Delaz Fleet's space mobile suit forces used in Operation Stardust were made up entirely of Zaku F2s and Rick Dom IIs. Unfortunately, while the F2s were durable machines capable of extended fight time, the MS-0RII Rick Dom II gobbled up fuel with its unneccesarily high thruster acceleration. In order to make the Rick Dom II a better mobile suit, and no doubt it part because of part and fuel shortages, seveal blocks of thrusters were removed from each mobile suit. Though acceleration was nearly halved, it remained at a decent level for space combat, and the Rick Dom IIs could now operate for a longer time in space without hazardous fuel tanks hanging off their backs. In additon, the Downgraded Rick Dom IIs were given much needed heat sabers, and some were moved up from the 360mm Giant Bazooka to a massive 880mm Raketen. In some ways, the downgraded Doms proved superior to their full strength predecesors, similar the Zaku F2's versatility over the higher performance Zaku FZ.
