History
The Zaku (Japanese: ザク, Hepburn: Zaku)
The MS-05B was rolled out in May, U.C. 0074, three months after the MS-05A. They participated in the earliest stages of the One Year War in U.C. 0079, including the One Week Battle, during which they were used to launch gas grenades into colonies to kill their inhabitants. A total of 793 MS-05B were produced before production was halted in favor of the higher performing MS-06 Zaku II. As production of the 06 ramped up, the 05 series was relegated to the second line, such as escorting transportation and supply fleets or garrison duty. Following the introduction of the Zaku II, which was commonly referred to simply as "Zaku", the Zaku I became colloquially known as "Old Zaku". On May 8th, U.C. 0079, a Zaku I guarding Zeon's 67th supply depot in the Arizona desert was attacked and destroyed by a MS-06J Zaku II Ground Type piloted by Federico Czariano of the Earth Federation Forces commando team Semovente Corps (which had been conducting false flag operations in the area), possibly making it the first mobile suit to be destroyed by another mobile suit in combat.
