{"title":"MS-09R Rick Dom","description":"\u003cp\u003eMS-09R Rick Dom is the Principality of Zeon's mass-production space mobile suit in \u003cem\u003eMobile Suit Gundam\u003c\/em\u003e (1979, U.C. 0079), a conversion of Zimmad's ground-going Dom for use outside the atmosphere. It entered service in the last months of the One Year War and stayed Zeon's standard space machine until the Gelgoog reached production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Rick Dom arrives in the second half of the series. The Camel Patrol Fleet under Lieutenant Dren brings six of them against the White Base and loses the entire force, and the Conscon fleet's twelve are cleared out in about three minutes while the ship leaves Side 6, nine of them by Amuro Ray. The type then fights in numbers at Solomon and A Baoa Qu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe conversion is mostly plumbing.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe thermonuclear jet engines in the feet became rocket engines, propellant capacity grew and the verniers were uprated. Because the Dom was laid out in blocks, the specifications could change without redesigning the frame, and the whole conversion is said to have taken two months.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIts backpack burns heavy elements.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe backpack thrusters use the Saturn Engine, a thermonuclear rocket type running on heavy elements as propellant. That yields more thrust than burning lighter propellant, which is a large part of why the Rick Dom's total specification beat the Zaku II High Mobility Type.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe beam bazooka was a rumour with a body count.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe Rick Dom's generator is too weak for beam weapons, but units under Dozle Zabi were said to carry the Ex-T2-2 Beam Bazooka, which had its own power supply.

The only beam weapon it is recorded with is the Ex-T2-2 Beam Bazooka, which carried a separate power supply, and that weapon was dropped after repeated explosions.
