Technology & Combat Characteristics
These Zaku Recon Types, also known as E-Types, mounted specialized cameras and sensor systems.

On the shoulders and front pelvic skirt armor were other sensors and camera. The E-Type also incorporated powerful thrusters in the chest for fast retreats. Along with the upgraded thrusters, it had more propellant storage capacity for long-range missions and a longer operational times. The Zaku Recon Type was completely unarmed, but held in its hands a small "camera gun" for recording its findings.

History
The MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance Type was a good success for the Zeon Military Force. They were able to provide information from behind enemy lines and give the Zeonic forces good intel. Roughly 100 units were produced. Many of the Zaku II E-Types survived the One Year War and were later used by the Earth Federal Forces and the Titan taskforce. The RMS-119 EWAC Zack "Eye-Zack" could be considered a distant relative of the MS-06E Zaku Reconnaissance Type.
