When the battles of the One Year War shifted back to space, the Dom was re-designed from ground combat to space combat.
Technology and Combat Characteristics
The space-type version, the MS-09R Rick Dom, had the jet engines replaced with rocket thrusters. An improved model of the Rick Dom was produced very late in the war, the MS-09RII Rick Dom II.
Because of the Dom's bulkier build, thanks to a bigger design frame and heavier armor, a Musai-Class Light Cruiser can only carry two MS-09Rs in its main hangar, versus three of the smaller Zaku II's.
Armaments
Scattering Beam Gun
A chest mounted scattering beam gun. Does little damage to enemy mobile suits but can be used to blind enemy pilots for several seconds.
Heat Saber Type7
The Rick Dom features an improved version of the Dom Type2 heat saber. The heat saber is battery powered and stored on a back recharge rack.
H&L-GB05R/360mm Giant Bazooka
The primary weapon of the Rick Dom is a large bazooka. The bazooka is clip fed and holds 10 rounds per clip
Ex-T2-2 beam bazooka
A new weapon developed near the end of the war and given to the Rick Dom is an experimental beam bazooka
History
The Dom series became the mainstay frontline unit for the rest of the One Year War. It was supposed to be replaced by the excellent MS-14A Gelgoog, but the war came to a close too quickly, allowing the Dom series to remain the frontline mobile suit until the war ended.
