Background
Late during the One Year War of the Universal Century Era, the Zeon Duchy
military started its "Unified Complete Equipment Plan" to upgrade and improve
existing mobile suit designs and to make its own manufacturing capabilities more
streamlined by incorporating similar parts and systems in several different
mobile suit lines. One of the mobile suit types to be redesigned under this plan
was the MS-14A Gelgoog, which had only recently begun production at Zeon's A Bao
A Qu asteroid base in UC December 0079. The new MS-14Jg Gelgoog Jaeger (or
simply "Gelgoog-J") was a serious step above anything else produced by Zeon at
the time, incorporating more powerful rocket thrusters and additional verniers
for added maneuverability. The increased thrust and fuel consumption was offset
by a pair of large external propellant tanks mounted on the backpack. The
Gelgoog Jaeger also carried an improved and highly accurate beam machinegun,
giving the Gelgoog Jaeger the nickname "Gelgoog Sniper Type." However, due to
its late introduction into the war, only a handful of Gelgoog Jaegers were
produced, some operating in the skirmishes against the Earth Federal Forces
stationed in the Side 6 area in UC December 0079.

Any additional damage done to the upper torso after it has been destroyed will
go to the Pilot's Compartment.
**If the Pilot's Compartment is destroyed, then the Mobile Suit will also be
rendered inoperable and the pilot will open to damage and the vaccum of space.

Power Plant: Fusion Reactor w/ Minovski Shielding capable of generating
1490 kW of power.
Range: The generator can supply power for approximately 10 years before
requiring replacement.
WEAPON SYSTEMS:
1. BEAM MACHINEGUN: This is the main weapon used by the Gelgoog Jaeger.
Unfortunatly due to the specific energy needs of the Beam Machinegun the E-Caps
it uses cannot be switched in the field.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: Short Burst: 4d6x10 M.D., Long Burst: 6d6x10 M.D.,
Full-Melee Burst: 1d6x100 M.D.
Range: 4000ft
Rate of Fire: 4 bursts per melee. Full melee burst uses up all actions
that melee
Payload: 30 short bursts, 15 long bursts (equals 2 short bursts), 5
full-melee bursts (equals 6 short bursts).
Scope: Adds +1 to strike on a short burst.
2. ARM-MOUNTED 110mm MACHINEGUNS (2):
Primary Purpose: Close Range Assault
Mega-Damage: 2d4x10+30 M.D. each (10 round burst).
Range: 3000ft
Rate of Fire: Bursts equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks.
Payload: 100 rounds per Machinegun, that's 10 bursts for each arm.
3. OPTIONAL HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Punch does 3D6 M.D., Body Block does
3D6 M.D., Kick does 4D6 M.D., Leap Kick does 5D6 M.D., Stomp does 3D6 M.D., but
is limited to targets no more than 16 feet tall. Body flip does 2D6 M.D. Pilots
who have experience with giant robots get full bonuses from Robot Basic combat
training.
4. SYSTEMS NOTE: The Gelgoog Jaeger is an elite space use mobile suit
and handles beautifully. +2 to dodge, +1 to initiative.
"HEHEHE! YOU GM'S CAN KISS MY METALLIC RED ASS!"
STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR MOST MOBILE SUITS
OPTICAL TARGETING SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have very sophisticated optical
tracking systems to assist the pilot in targeting. This system provides the
pilot with a +2 to hit when using projectile or beam weapons. However, since the
tracking system is optical, the target must be IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT from the
MS in order to get the bonus.
COMBAT COMPUTER: Contains data on up to 120 different vehicles (both
friend and foe). Can call up and project data on the HUD screens in the cockpit.
"SKIN TOUCH" COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have sensitive
microphones in their cockpits that can pick up a pilot's voice and project it to
vibrating devices on the surface of the hand. By grasping hands with another
Mobile Suit, the first mecha can transmit these vibrations to the other mecha.
Sensors on the other mecha translate these vibrations into sounds and projects
them via speakers in the cockpit. The result is a secure method of communication
between mecha that cannot be intercepted by enemy scanners.
LASER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: The Gelgoog has a laser based communications
system that allows the mecha to communicate over long distances. The only
disadvantage is that the mobile suits have to be looking at each other in order
communicate.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS: Backup; usually doesn't work due to Minovski
interference.
COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEM: Identical to the system
described on Pg. 214 of the Rifts RPG book.
