RX-78-Z1 Zeon's Gundam

RX-78 Zeon's Gundam initially is a mobile suit from the Universal Century timeline, wich first appears in the game Gihren's Greed. It is also appears in the Mobile Suit Gundam: Gihren's Ambition Special (2003) video-game on the Wonderswan Color platform.

Technology & Combat Characteristics
In the game Gihren's Greed, one of the parallel timelines of the Universal Century where Zeon forces won the One Year War, Zeon's Gundam was constructed from the design plans of the RX-78-2 Gundam taken from the Earth Federation (it is unclear how these designs were obtained). Although identical in appearance to the RX-78-2 (except for its green Zeon paint scheme and an MS-14 Gelgoog's shield in place of the RX-M-SH-008/S-01025 Shield), its interior mechanisms were completely revamped and featured parts derived from Zeon technology. However, despite these modifications, there were no significant changes to the machines performance.

Armaments

History
This event takes place during the storyline of the game Federation vs Zeon.

During the last weeks of the One Year War, the focus of the war effort shifted to outer space. Despite this many Zeon soldiers and mobile suit units continued to operate on Earth. One such Zeon mobile suit team was successful in their ambush of a Medea supply unit and their capture of an RX-78-2 Gundam unit. The captured unit was re-designated RX-78-Z1, repainted in the standard Green Zeon colors and was subsequently used against the federation a number of times to great effect. For some time, the Gundam wreaked havoc amongst E.F forces on Earth until a Federation Special Forces Combat Unit was able to intercept the stolen Gundam in New Yark and destroy it. Despite the victory for the Federation unit, the stolen Gundam shot down nearly two dozen GM[G] and Gundam[G] units before it was destroyed.
