OMS-09RF RF Dom

Template:Infobox/Mobile Weapon Ver.2 The OMS-09RF RF Dom appeared in the manga series Mobile Suit Gundam F91: Formula Report 0122.

Technology & Combat Characteristics

A mass production front-line unit used by Mars Zeon in the early UC 0120s based on the old space-use MS-09R Rick Dom. The RF Dom featured the toughest armor as well as the heaviest firepower among Mars Zeon's RF ("RF" being short for "ReFined") series MS. In addition to a beam saber, beam rifle and beam bazooka, the RF Dom also has a pair of scattering mega particle guns mounted in its chest.

Armaments

• Vulcan Gun

These shell-firing weapons have a high rate of fire but little power, and can't damage the thick armor of a mobile suit, though it can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. They are ideal for shooting down small, lightly armored targets such as missiles, small vehicle, etc.

• Scattering Mega Particle Gun

Inspired by the original Dom, two scattering mega particle guns are mounted on the torso of the mobile suit. However, unlike the version used by the original Dom, these are upgraded to be capable of releasing a spray of beam energy powerful enough to cause wide-spread damage to enemy mobile suits.

• Beam Saber

The Beam Saber emits high-energy Minovsky particles to form a blade-shaped I-field (via manipulation of electromagnetic fields), and then fills this I-field shell with superheated Minovsky particle plasma to produce an effective cutting blade. The RF Dom is equipped with a beam saber stored in the backpack.

• 2-slot Grenade Launcher

The RF Dom has a grenade launcher capable of holding two grenades mounted into its backpack. These grenades are not very effective against large ships, but are ideal mid-range anti-mobile suit weapons.

• Beam Rifle

Standard range weapon that fires a directed and concentrated burst of mega particles. Can penetrate most materials that have not been treated with an anti-beam countermeasure.

• 360mm Giant Bazooka

The same Giant Bazooka used by the Dom series of mobile suits. The bazooka is magazine fed and holds 10 rounds per magazine, and a single round can blow the torso off of an enemy mobile suit.

• Beam Bazooka

Beam bazooka is essentially beam rifle on a slightly larger scale. It fires slower moving mega particles, causing its beam to widen and allowing the beam to cause damage over a greater area, ideal for dealing with battleships or catching multiple mobile suits off-guard.

History

The OMS-09RF RF Dom was one of several mobile suit designs that Mars Zeon mass-produced and used during their invasion of Earth in the year UC 0122. As with all Oldsmobile Army mobile suits the RF Dom is based on the design of a One Year War-era Principality of Zeon mobile suit, specifically the MS-09R Dom, one of the highest performing machines to be fielded during the war.

The RF Dom was a unit that specialized in space combat, surpassing its ancestor in the role with its greater firepower and armor. With its multiple heavy beam weapons it could easily sink warships, while its heavy armor made it difficult to destroy.
