Technical and Historical Notes

Based on the PMS-MDC-01SS Gundam Star-Streak, the Mars Defense Corps drew up plans for a scaled down version suitable for mass-production. Dubbed the "Star-Streak Mass Production Type", or simply "Ess-S MP" for short, the mobile suit was intended to fill a general purpose role, toting a fair balance of ranged and melee weaponry. While the Ess-S MP was slated to carry a beam boomerang like the ones on the Gundam, its other armaments were more basic, and the optional megacannon was left off of the mass production unit's design specs. Plans to put this unit into production were shelved when the Preventers split into factions, many of them fleeing to Mars and bringing their more powerful Gryphon and Basilisk suits with them.
