The FD-03-00 Gustav Karl Type-00 was a mass production mobile suit used by the Earth Federation Forces in UC 0105. It was an improved version of the early deployment FD-03 Gustav Karl Type 13 first fielded in UC 0096 during the Laplace Incident. Compared to the Type 13, the Type 00 featured an overhauled frame structure and other improvements. The Type 00’s armaments included a vulcan gun, beam sabers, a beam rifle, a shield, a 2-tube grenade launcher and a bazooka. In April UC 0105, multiple Type-00s were deployed to the Philippine city Davao to combat the anti-Federation military group Mafty.
