RGM-89 Jegan
From the The Gundam Wiki, the ultimate guide to Gundam
The RGM-89 Jegan is a fictional mobile suit from the Universal Century of the anime series Gundam.
As the successor of the RGM-79 GM series, the Jegan is the new mass produced mobile suit of the Earth Federation. The suit is lighter and more maneuverable than all the previous GM units, although it is not as well armed as the RGM-86R GM III. Nevertheless it performed very well and thus it was put into mass production. They at first were assigned to the Londo Bell task force in UC 0093 during the Second Neo Zeon War where many of this units fought against the mass produced AMS-119 Geara Doga of the Neo Zeon army. Although at first used by the Londo Bell they soon became standard in the Federation forces and served as their frontline suit during the following decades, through 30 years later in the F91 series. As with many other mobile suits many variants of the Jegan were created over the years. all the jegans had Gundarium alloy armour 25% which served as there outer armour while most of it was made out of titanium alloy/ceramic composite and it also had semi transparent coating or armour in it

Variants
RGM-88X Jedah
The first prototype model of Jagan, the Jadah has less durable armor comparing to its production model. In Hi-Streamer novel, Jedah is main mobile suit used by Londo Bell force until it was replaced by Jegan. While inferior, Jedah was put into production alongside Jagan to replace aging GM series until Earth Federation manage to have enough Jegan to fill most of their ranks.
RGM-89B Jegan Kai
When Jegan was still in prototype stage, another variant known as RGM-89B Jegan Kai ("Kai" is Japanese Kanji character "改". In English means "Modified".) also existed. This prototype variant of Jegan has much higher performance and its frame is influenced by feedback data from Anaheim Electronics's MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki. It was also completly made out of Gundarium armor instead of the combine with Gundarium and titanium alloy/ceramic composite used by standard Jegan.
RGM-89J Jegan Normal Type
The RGM-89J Jegan Normal Type, was simply an upgraded version of the old Jegan in terms of power output, speed and maneuverability. However despite this upgrade the Jegan Normal Type was no match for the newer suits of the Crossbone Vanguard during the conflict at the Frontier Side.
RGM-89M Jegan B-Type
The RGM-89M Jegan B-Type. This variant only differed from the Normal Type in form of two 5-tube rocket packs on the hips for increased firepower. However like the other Jegan types it was no match for the Crossbone Vanguard Mobile Suits.
RGM-89R Jegan A-Type
For use by squadron leaders Anaheim invented the RGM-89R Jegan A-Type which was the fastest and most maneuverable of the Jegan series. Again despite this it was no match for the Crossbone Vanguard.
