After years of exile in the far reaches of the solar system, the renegade
Zeons
who inhabit the asteroid base
Axis
return to the
Earth Sphere,
bringing with them hundreds of these
transforming mobile suits.
The Gaza C is based not on the Zeon
mobile suit
of the
One Year War
era, but on the worker machines which the renegades used to construct their asteroid headquarters. Although it has the firepower and thruster output of a
mobile armor,
the Gaza C suffers from exceptionally poor maneuverability. Combined with the Axis forces' fondness for mass formation tactics, this renders it vulnerable to experienced enemy pilots.
