The MS-14U Gelgoog (Outer Space Type) is a mobile suit from the Mobile Suit Gundam: Char's Deleted Affair: Portrait Of Young Comet manga series.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

The MS-14U Gelgoog Outer Space Type is a heavily modified version of the original MS-14S Gelgoog Commander Type, specifically designed for use in deep space. Thanks to a complete redesign of the main body, it features an improved power plant, thrust, and maneuverability to suit the skills of its pilot, Char Aznable. Its overall shape has been altered, most notably the shape of the head and torso as well as the much slimmer design of its legs. It is possible that these modifications to the body made the unit lighter while reducing its target silhouette. The Gelgoog Outer Space Type proved itself several times against federation forces, destroying two high performance RGM-79GS GM Command Space Types and sinking a Magellan-class battleship during its first combat. The unit appears to perform better than its predecessor and most certainly outstrips the MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type, as Andy reports positively on its performance after becoming its primary pilot. It is also seen earlier besting an MS-09F Dom Funf and two Zaku F2's at the same time during mock combat, but this may be more due to Char's skill than the machine's performance. The MS-14U is known to be able to wield most if not all of its predecessor's armaments, and is seen at least using the beam naginata, zulu-style shield and beam rifle. It is also seen using a 880mm Raketen Bazooka borrowed from a Dom Funf. For long ranged combat, the MS-14U could also be equipped with a Prototype Large Beam Rifle that had been developed at Axis. This long weapon had a built in generator and an accurate range 1.8 times greater than the standard Gelgoog beam rifle, but it could only be fired 5 times before becoming useless. The problem with the original Gelgoog not having sufficient fixed armaments was resolved somewhat by the addition of a single vulcan gun on the left side of the head, a 110mm machine cannon in the right wrist, and a hidden beam saber located in the left wrist. The 110mm machine cannon has been added by replacing the arm with that of an MS-14F Gelgoog Marine. It is possible that the vulcan gun and beam saber were borrowed from a fallen RGM-79 GM as they share a resemblence.

History

The MS-14U Gelgoog Outer Space Type was created after the conclusion of the One Year War at the Zeon base on Axis. After it was damaged and defeated in combat by Amuro Ray and his RX-78-2 Gundam, Char Aznable's Gelgoog Commander Type is repaired and modified to improve its performance, adding a new and more powerful backpack taken from the MS-14B Gelgoog High Mobility Type as well as replacing the severed arm with an arm from the MS-14F Gelgoog Marine. It is then held in reserve while Char pilots the MSN-02 Zeong. After the end of the battle of A Baoa Qu, Char flees using his Gelgoog to support the Zeon retreat to Axis. While at Axis, Char's Gelgoog is further refined, removing the B-type backpack, adding a more streamlined design, larger thrusters, a vulcan gun and a hidden beam saber, earning the unit the new designation of MS-14U Gelgoog Outer Space Type. Char uses the MS-14U as his primary mobile suit until he transfers to the refined MSN-02 Perfect Zeong. After this point, the MS-14U is piloted by Andy. Andy, who had previously been piloting a MS-06F2 Zaku II F2 Type, voices his approval of the Gelgoog, commenting on how sharp the controls are. The unit is later mass produced as the MS-14U Gelgoog Mass Produced Outer Space Type. It is unclear how long this suit was used by Axis Zeon, but it is not present during the Neo Zeon War, suggesting that it had been phased out by then.
