RGM-89S Stark Jegan

The RGM-89S Stark Jegan is a prototype mobile suit built as a mid-range fire support unit.

Technology and Combat Characteristics
The overall performance is greatly increased over the standard RGM-89 Jegan. The Stark Jegan's legs are fitted with additional armor, and new armaments are incorporated across the body, including a pair of machine guns and two sets of missile launchers. The large missile launcher is capable of mounting a nuclear warhead. The Stark Jegan can also carry a bazooka or beam rifle. The Stark Jegan is slower with the additional armor and armaments, but if necessary, they can be ejected.

All the Jegans have Gundarium alloy armor which makes up 25% of the outer armor while most of it is made out of titanium alloy/ceramic composite and it also has a semi transparent coating or armor on it.

3-Slot Hand Grenade Rack
All Jegan mobile suits have a 3-slot hand grenade rack built into the left hip armor.

2 x 30mm Machine Gun
The Stark Jegan possesses two arm mounted 30mm machine guns that likely take the place of the Vulcan gun pod mounted on the original Jegan models.

2 x 3-Tube Medium Missile Launcher
On each of the Stark Jegan's shoulders is a mounted three tube medium missile launcher. These large missile launcher can be ejected to increase the Jegan's speed.

4 x Large Missile Launcher
Mounted on each of the medium missile launchers are two large missile launchers for a total of four large missile launchers mounted on the Stark Jegan.

Nuclear Warhead
The large missile launchers have the option of mounting a nuclear warhead.

Beam Rifle
The standard armament of Mobile suits is a beam rifle powered by a rechargeable energy cap. If the energy cap runs out of energy it can be replaced with a fresh one.

Bazooka
For heavier firepower the Stark Jegan can be outfitted with a mobile suit bazooka.

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.
