An improved version of the MS-14F Gelgoog Marine, the MS-14Fs Gelgoog Marine
Commander Type first appeared in the last days of the Universal Century Era's
One Year War. It was only a mild improvement over the standard F-type; the only
real differences were a slight increase in thruster output, speed and
maneuverability (including improved cooling systems to deal with the additional
heat), as well as the addition of a pair of head-mounted 40 mm vulcan guns, a
heavy beam rifle, and a large shield similar to that of the original MS-14A
Gelgoog. However, its cost performance was poor compared to the standard F-type
Gelgoog Marine, and the Commander Type saw very limited production. It is
unknown how many of these units survived the war, although at least one unit was
known to be used by Lieutenant Colonel Cima Garahau during "Operation Stardust"
in UC 0083.

Thruster Leap: 750ft up or across
Thruster Output: 20500kg x 3 (backpack), 7000kg x 4 (feet)
Acceleration: 1.12G
STATISTICAL DATA:
Height: 19.2 meters
Width:
Weight: 40.5 tons (standard), 80.0 tons (fully loaded)
Sensor Radius: 6300 meters
Physical Strength: Equal to a P.S. of 50
Cargo: The small size of the cockpit provides limited room for personal
belongings.
Power Plant: Fusion Reactor w/ Minovski Shielding capable of generating
1490kW's of power.
Range: The generator can supply power for approximately 10 years before
requiring replacement.
WEAPON SYSTEMS:
1. ARM-MOUNTED 110mm MACHINEGUNS (2): Mounted on each arm of the
Gelgoog is an 110mm Machinegun, it is the only built-in weapon system on the
Gelgoog Marine.
Primary Purpose: Close Range Assault
Mega-Damage: 2d4x10+30 M.D. per 10 round burst.
Range: 3000ft
Rate of Fire: Bursts equal to the pilot's combined number of attacks
Payload: 100 rounds per Machinegun, that's 10 bursts for each arm.
2. 0.38 MW BEAM SABERS: These revolutionary mecha-sized melee weapon were
first used on the RX-78 Gundam mobile suit. The beam saber works on the same
principle as the beam rifle, except that the mega particles are captured and
stored in a strong electromagnetic field instead of projected in a beam. The
result is a concentrated energy blade which is one of the deadliest weapons in
the Gundam universe.
The beam saber only contains enough energy and mega particles for about 60
seconds of continuous use. When not inuse, the beam sabers are stored in the
backpack of the mecha, where they are recharged by the Gelgoog's reactor. The
Gelgoog can switch the beam saber on and off while holding it, in order to
conserve power. Once totally depleted it takes 30 minutes for a beam saber to
recharge to full capacity.
The Gelgoog Marine carries 2 beam sabers mounted on its backpack.
Primary Purpose: Melee Combat
Mega-Damage: 5d6x10 M.D.
Range: The blade has a range of 15-30 ft (5-10 m) and is adjustable.
Payload: The beam saber can function continuously for 60 seconds (4 melee
rounds) before running out of power. Once discharged, the beam saber must be
returned to the GM's backpack where it can recharge at a rate of 1 second of
power per 30 seconds of charging.
3. MRB-110 BEAM RIFLE: This is one of the few beam rifle models in the
Delaz Fleet. It is only ever issued to the Gelgoog Marine Commander's Type. This
weapon functions off an modular capacitor than can be switched for a fully
charged one in the field (much like an e-clip), how ever, these capacitors can
still only be recharged aboard bases or large ships.
Primary Purpose: Assault
Mega-Damage: 4D6x10 M.D. per blast. Bursts are not possible.
Range: 6000ft
Rate of Fire: Maximum of 3 shots per melee round.
Payload: 20 shots maximum. 1 extra modular capacitor is stored in the
Gelgoog's shield. Bonus: The Targeting Scope gives a +1 to strike on an
aimed shot.
4. OPTIONAL HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT: Punch does 3D6 M.D., Body Block does
3D6 M.D., Kick does 4D6 M.D., Leap Kick does 5D6 M.D., Stomp does 3D6 M.D., but
is limited to targets no more than 16 feet tall. Body flip does 2D6 M.D. Pilots
who have experience with giant robots get full bonuses from Robot Basic combat
training.
5. SYSTEMS NOTE: The Gelgoog Commander's Type is even more agile than
the normal Gelgoog in space, +2 to dodge in space.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR MOST MOBILE SUITS
OPTICAL TARGETING SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have very sophisticated optical
tracking systems to assist the pilot in targeting. This system provides the
pilot with a +2 to hit when using projectile or beam weapons. However, since the
tracking system is optical, the target must be IN DIRECT LINE OF SIGHT from the
MS in order to get the bonus.
COMBAT COMPUTER: Contains data on up to 120 different vehicles (both
friend and foe). Can call up and project data on the HUD screens in the cockpit.
"SKIN TOUCH" COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: Mobile Suits have sensitive
microphones in their cockpits that can pick up a pilot's voice and project it to
vibrating devices on the surface of the hand. By grasping hands with another
Mobile Suit, the first mecha can transmit these vibrations to the other mecha.
Sensors on the other mecha translate these vibrations into sounds and projects
them via speakers in the cockpit. The result is a secure method of communication
between mecha that cannot be intercepted by enemy scanners.
LASER COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM: The Gundam has a laser based communications
system that allows the mecha to communicate over long distances. The only
disadvantage is that the mobile suits have to be looking at each other in order
communicate.
RADIO COMMUNICATIONS: Backup; usually doesn't work due to Minovski
interference.
COMPLETE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION SYSTEM: Identical to the system
described on Pg. 214 of the Rifts RPG book.
