The RB-79M Buccaneer (バッカニア Bakkania?) is a mobile weapon featured in Hobby Japan's March 1997 issue of RPG Magazine as a supplement to the Mobile Suit Gundam RPG.

Technology & Combat Characteristics[]

A submersible combat pod based on the MP-W03 Underwater Work Pod, which was used for underwater construction projects prior to the One Year War. Faced with losing control of the seas to the Principality of Zeon, the Earth Federation Forces scrambled for a stopgap weapon to deploy against the Zeon submarine fleets. Buccaneers were able to operate at greater depths than the Principality of Zeon's aquatic mobile suits, but despite their capability as an underwater craft they still fell short in combat against Zeon's heavily armored amphibious mobile suits.

History[]

Buccaneers were deployed by the Earth Federation Navy in the Caribbean, where they engaged in combat with the Principality of Zeon's submarine forces.
