BACKGROUND

An improved version of the MS-09S Dowas, the final production type of the MS-09R Rick Dom that was developed at the end of the One Year War. The MS-09S Dowas was developed via the MS-09R-2 Rick Dom Zwei in order to improve the features of the Rick Dom in a way that is aimed at high mobility combat. But, there were few units produced and most saw the war come to an end without ever appearing on the battlefield. The MS-09S Dowas was transported to the asteroid Axis by Zeon remnants who fled to the asteroid belt at the end of the One Year War. There, it was subjected to further mobility and generator output upgrades as well as improvements to the armor through the use of Gundarium alloy. Some added armor evolved the suit into the Dowass Custom. Departing Axis, Char Aznable headed for Anaheim Electronics with the Gundarium alloy in hand, transporting the MS-09SS Dowas Custom which used Gundarium as part of the suit. As a result, the MS-09SS Dowas Custom would be used as the base for the design of the Gamma Gundam (later known as the RMS-009 (MSA-099) Rick Dias), a state of the art unit that uses Gundarium alloy.
