One of their earliest designs was the MSM-03 Gogg, and while being their first truly successful amphibious design, it had its limitations.

The post-war modified Musai class remained in service as late as UC 0096 with the Republic of Zeon and Neo Zeon, and the original Musai served as the inspiration for Neo Zeon's Endra class.Ĭaptain(s): Char Aznable ( Famel), Dren ( Famel)Īppearances: Mobile Suit Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam: Record of MS Wars Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th M.S. Late-war examples of the Musai removed one of the mega particle cannon turrets and increased the mobile suit complement to four. Musai class ships proved themselves superior in long-range combat repeatedly throughout the One Year War. This shortfall, however, was partially a result of the role the Musai is expected to play in battle - to support its mobile suits from long range.

A major flaw in the design of the Musai was the omission of any close-in weapons systems for point defense. The Musai was armed with three twin mega particle cannon turrets and a battery of missile launchers, but it was heavily dependent on its mobile suit contingent to provide anti-fighter and anti-MS defense. Musai class cruisers were capable of transporting three mobile suits, and two additional mobile suits could be stored in the Musai's Komusai re-entry capsule. The Principality of Zeon secretly developed the Musai class light cruiser in conjunction with its mobile suit program, and as such, the Musai had the distinction of being the first combat spaceship ever designed to carry and support mobile suits.
