Technical and Historical Notes
The MSZ-006E Zeta Plus E is an Early Warning And Control (EWAC) machine based on the MSZ-006D Zeta Plus D. Given their relatively small operating radius within the atmosphere, mobile suits are of only limited use as EWAC machines. Conventional aircraft, on the other hand, are very fragile. This transformable mobile suit is developed as a compromise solution, but the installation of expensive electronics in the already costly Zeta Plus results in an extraordinarily expensive machine. Despite its high performance this E type never enters mass production, although it is rumored that a few units are introduced into combat.
