Technical and Historical Notes

One of the first new mass-production mobile suits to see action since the Eve Wars, the EDO-MSX07 Draco was the Earth Defense Organization's answer to the older OZ-12SMS Taurus and the Venusian military's newer VMF01-1VMS Orion in the battlefields of space. The Draco would prove to be an inexpensive yet versatile unit, with a standard armament boasting more firepower than the Taurus or Orion in the form of a pair of small beam guns mounted on the arms. In addition, the Draco was also compatible with many of the same weapons modules for the EDO-MSX01 Scorpio, improving its capabilities and flight mode firepower by mounting these modules on the hardpoint on the suit's backside. Like the Scorpio, the Draco would first see combat in early November, AC 216 during the Une Conflict, when a number of these suits failed in their attempt to prevent rebel Preventers following Lady Une from escaping to Mars.
