RGC-90 Jegan Heavy Equipment Type

The '''RGC-90 Jegan Heavy Armor Type is a prototype mobile suit built by the Earth Federation to provide mid-range fire support.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
The body is a re-designed RGM-89 Jegan developed specifically for ground combat. The generator output is enhanced and the legs are strengthened to provide extra support for battles fought under Earth's gravity. The Jegan Heavy Armor is equipped with several new weapons, including a pair of beam cannons and missile pods. Overall, its firepower is superior to that of the standard Jegan.

Beam Cannon
The RGC-90 Jegan's primary weapons is a pair of shoulder mounted beam cannons which giving the mobile suit rather heavy firepower.

Missile Pod
The RGC-90 Jegan features a pair of waist mounted missile pods. Each pod carries three missiles that can only be fired one at a time.

Vulcan Gun
Unlike most Federation mobile suits based on the RGM line the RGC-90 Jegan possesses only one Vulcan gun. This light projectile weapon is best suited for shooting down missiles and light vehicles and does little damage to more heavily armored targets such as mobile suits.

History
As the successor of the RGM-79 GM series, the Jegan is the new mass produced mobile suit of the Earth Federation. The suit is lighter and more maneuverable than all the previous GM units, although it is not as well armed as the RGM-86R GM III. Nevertheless it performed very well and thus it was put into mass production. They at first were assigned to the Londo Bell task force in UC 0093 during the Second Neo Zeon War where many of this units fought against the mass produced AMS-119 Geara Doga of the Neo Zeon army. Although at first used by the Londo Bell they soon became standard in the Federation forces and served as their frontline suit during the following decades, through 30 years later in the F91 series. As with many other mobile suits many variants of the Jegan were created over the years.

As with other Federation mobile suits numerous variants of the Jegan would be built, one of which is the RGC-90 Jegan which was designed for superior performance on the Earth's surface. It is an atrillery mobile suit outfitted with many heavy weapons and sports a paint scheme similar to that of the old RGM-79 GM.
