Anaheim Electronics developed it from the RGM-89 Jegan for Londo Bell, and its assignment was to escort the RX-0 Unicorn Gundam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat it does in the story\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn U.C. 0096 twelve Jestas were assigned to Londo Bell's flagship \u003cem\u003eRa Cailum\u003c\/em\u003e for evaluation.

The type is a product of the UC Project, a fact kept hidden even inside the Federation forces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe shield rides on the backpack.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nIt hangs on a movable arm attached to the backpack and sits over the back while the suit rides a sub-flight unit. Two 2-tube missile launchers are built into it for mid-range work against mobile suits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe rifle has a rapid-fire mode.\u003c\/strong\u003e\nThe barrel is longer than a standard beam rifle's because of the acceleration and deflection device, and besides single shots it fires in a beam-machine-gun mode.
