Musai-class Final Production Type

The Musai-class Final Production Type is a fictional space cruiser class introduced in Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket.

History
The Musai-Class Final Production Type had an improved hull design and upgraded engines. This rare version was a subtype ship design of the original Musai Light Cruiser that was in production during November and December, as resource restrictions forced the Principality of Zeon to eliminate its ambitious plan of replacing all the original, refitted originals, and the only slightly improved Final Production Type Musai designs with the drastically upgraded Late Production ships. The Final Production Musai was cheap to mass produce and yet effective in task of making both sides naval forces more even in numbers. It had two catapults in its mobile suit hangars. While some of the ships carried groups of four MS-06F Zaku IIs, other ships carried two of the heavier MS-09R Rick Dom or MS-14 Gelgoog mobile suits. Like its One Year War cousin, this Musai type does not have any anti-aircraft/anti-mobile suite defense. The type would serve as escort ships for the Tivvay-class Graf Zeppelin during Operation Rubicon.
