Technical and Historical Notes
|
As the Earth Federal Forces' "Project V" scrambled to get their first mobile suit prototypes operational and begin mass-production, a stopgap was needed to counter the Principality of Zeon's mobile suit forces. During the stalemate of the middle months of the One Year War, civilian-model SP-W03 space construction pods were converted into RB-79 Ball combat units, armed with a 180 mm recoilless cannon. Although this was the standard armament for the Ball, different weapons variations appeared in different fronts of the war. One variant was the RB-79K, which was armed with a pair of cannons in place of the single one. The RB-79K was also equipped with larger manipulator arms and a rocket-guided cable wench for grappling objects and targets. One Ball pilot, Ensign Shiro Amada, became famous for using the normally-hopelessly-outclassed Ball to defeat a high-performance MS-06RD-4 Zaku II Test Type prototype operating in Earth orbit on 6 October UC 0079.
