Technology & Combat Characteristics
The RMS-192M Zaku Mariner is the Earth Federation's production-line version of the Principality of Zeon's MS-06M (MSM-01) Zaku Marine Type M-1 Prototype which was tested during the One Year War. Developed as an improved version of the MS-06M, it featured a large hydrojet thruster backpack that provided propulsion, which could also be jettisoned so it would not interfere with the mobile suit's mobility or combat effectiveness on land.

History
The Zaku Mariner is a mobile suit designed for amphibious combat. Although based upon the old MSM-01 Zaku Marine Type created by the Principality of Zeon, the suit was created by the Earth Federation Forces. Ironically, the EFF was never able to use these suits as they were captured by the Neo Zeon forces during the First Neo Zeon War, when their forces invaded Earth in UC 0088. In U.C. 0096, it is used by Zeon remnants to attack the Federation's Torrington base.
