History
When military forces of the Principality of Zeon retreated to Axis. The Zeon remnants at Axis were unprepared to simply quit on the revolution started by the Zabi family and began preparing for renewing the conflict. Knowing that the Earth Federation would continue their development of mobile suit technology the researchers of Axis used their existing mobile suit force and limited resources to develop more advanced versions of what they already had available. One of the most advanced mobile suit available was the MS-14A Gelgoog, the pinnacle of Zeon's mobile suit technology at the end of the One Year War. The Gelgoogs were upgraded into the MS-14J ReGelgu(short for "REfined GELGoog"), a more powerful and faster mobile suit that served as part of Axis's main mobile suit force for years until the AMX-003 Gaza-C was ready for mass production.
During the First Neo Zeon War Axis Zeon fielded many advanced mobile suits, but their resources were limited compared to the Earth Federation and needed to field every mobile suit available, even older machines. Still the ReGelgu was fairly good, with performance equaling and perhaps even surpassing the Earth Federation's RGM-86R GM III. One unit was piloted by Neo Zeon Ace Illia Pazom.
