Built on the same basic design as its Apsalus predecessor, Ginias Sahalin's Apsalus II featured a perfected Minovsky craft system that was much more stable in atmospheric flight. It also incorporated an extremely powerful mega particle cannon, capable of blasting through thick layers of rock. Once again piloted by Ginias' sister Aina Sahalin, the Apsalus II soon began test flights in Zeon's testing grounds in Southeast Asia. When word of the test flights reached the Earth Federation Forces, the EFF's 08th Mobile Suit Team was dispatched to investigate and capture or disable the new mobile weapon. The 08th Team soon found their quarry, and the Apsalus II was heavily damaged during the battle and was forced to crash-land in the Himalaya mountains on 9 November, UC 0079. Aina Sahalin survived and soon destroyed the Apsalus II to keep it from falling into Federation hands. Soon after that, salvaged parts from the Apsalus II and the original Apsalus would be used to build the final the Apsalus III.
