The MSA-004K Nemo III was a trial production mobile suit developed by Anaheim Electronics, based on the MSA-004 Nemo II. Compared to the original MSA-003 Nemo, this unit was a great improvement. The left shoulder was equipped with a beam cannon, which was mainly used to deal with medium-range fire support. The Nemo III was also armed with a beam saber, vulcan guns and a beam rifle. The Nemo III was never mass produced as intended and was only used as an experimental unit. Nearly a decade after its initial development, the Nemo III was in use with the Earth Federation Forces and participated in the defense of Australia’s Torrington Base, which was attacked by Zeon remnants in UC 0096.
