The RMS-099B Schuzrum Dias (also Sturm Dias) is a mobile suit from the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ.

Technology and Combat Characteristics

The Schuzrum Dias is a further improved model of the RMS-099 Rick Dias and MSA-099-2 Rick Dias II. It has a flared-out armor piece on the head for better protection of the sensors. The random binder propellant tank was upgraded into the grye binder by mounting extra thrusters and verniers upon the binder, increasing the Schuzrum's Dias's mobility in comparison to the older Rick Dias mobile suits. The grye binders also each mount a beam cannon.

The weapons employed by the Schuzrum Dias are virtually identical to its predecessors, likely as a means to cheapen production.

Armaments

  • 2-barrel 55mm Vulcan Phalanx Anti-Missile Gun System
A standard armament of the mobile suits in this era. These head mounted shell-firing weapons have a high-rate of fire, but have little power and are generally ineffective against mobile suits; however, the vulcan gun can damage lightly armored areas such as the sensors. These weapons are ideal for shooting down small, fast moving, lightly armored targets such as missiles or small vehicles.
  • Beam Pistol
While most mobile suits feature a single large beam rifle, the Schuzrum Dias instead is equipped with two small beam pistols, which loosely resembles a Luger P08. Despite their small size, the pistols are powerful enough to destroy an enemy unit with a single shot. If not in use, the pistols are mounted on the backpack of the unit.
  • Beam Saber
The standard close range armament for most Mobile Suits. The beam saber is a small cylindrical device held in the mobile suit's hands when operated and is powered by an energy capacitor that is recharged from special racks. The beam saber is capable of cutting through any metal that has not been treated with anti-beam coating.
  • Clay Bazooka
Unlike normal bazookas, the Clay Bazooka is a large rocket launcher that can fire several missiles that combust into smaller pellets to attack targets at long range. While not as powerful as other models, it can take a mobile suit down with one shot. Most oftenly used to take out slow, heavily armored targets.
  • Beam Cannon
Mounted on the Gyre Binders is a pair of beam cannons. The power of this weapon's beam can seriously damage a mobile suit with even a glancing hit, and they can completely destroy a standard mobile suit shield making it impossible to block the beam. However, each gun has is very power-consuming, not allowing the beam cannons to fire rapidly.

Special Equipment & Features

  • Grye Binder
Anaheim Electronics developed a "Gyre Binder" from Rick Dias' "Random Binder" Ejectable External Propellant Tank. Its design was inspired by MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki's wing binder. With numerous thrusters and verniers on it, the binder greatly boosted the agility of Schuzrum Dias.

History

The RMS-099B Schuzrum Diaz was developed by Anaheim Electronics during the First Neo Zeon War. Judging from the machine's ancestry it is likely that the company had intended to market it to the AEUG where it would likely be well-received for both its high performance and how closely it resembles the popular Rick Dias. However, much like the RMS-108 Marasai from the Gryps Conflict, Anaheim Electronics was forced to provide the Schuzrum Dias to Neo Zeon during the First Neo Zeon War.
