STANDARD EQUIPMENT

 

High Effect Hover Jets: Allows the suit to hover over water, and can operate indefinitely as long as the Mobile Suit stays above the water. If forced into the water, the Mobile Suit must walk along the bottom to dry land, and its Hover Jets become unusable until repaired.

 

Afterburners: Increases the Mobiles Suit’s Hover speed by 100 km/h and accelerates the Mobile Suit at 1.32 G. The Mobile Suit also receives a +2 Dodge, +1 Leap Dodge, and can remain airborne for 1 extra Melee. Afterburners have limited fuel, and can provide 3 bursts that last for 4 Melees. Afterburners don't work in space, since they require air from the Mobile Suit's air intakes.

Background: Near the end of the One Year War, the Zeon's Granada base (with help from the elite Blizzard team) managed to send a large shipment of new mobile weapons to their remnant Earthbound forces. Several of these new mobile weapons were the MS-06Xb Blitzkrieg Zaku. Four of witch were assigned to Blizzard team to aid in the protection of the hidden MA-09 Mass Production Type Big Zam construction facility. In the hands of these ace pilots the Blitzkriegs where able to outclass any Federation search and destroy unit (with the exception of the Federations Tsunami team). The design was intended to be mass produced, for a renewed ground campaign. However, with the Federation taking the war into space, production of the suit was dropped in favor of the development of the MS-14A Gelgoog. The units that managed to survive the war where put to use by remnant Zeon forces on Earth and over the years have participated in raids on both Federation and Titan facilities.
