MSK-008 Dijeh

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The MSK-008 Dijeh is a mobile suit from the anime series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam.

The Dijeh is a mobile suit developed by the Karaba, the earthbound variant of the AEUG. Because the Karaba was impressed by the AEUG’s RMS-099 Rick Dias the Dijeh’s design was based on the Rick Dias and its performance also was quite similar. Also because many of the engineers of the Dijeh were former Principality of Zeon members, they used many design features of the Zeon mobile suits, like the mono-eye sensor. A special design feature of the Dijeh were its two radiator fins mounted on the back which give the suit high performance during atmospheric flight. Also because the Karaba didn’t have many resources, the suit’s weapons came from other suits like the MSN-00100 Hyaku Shiki’s beam rifle or the clay bazooka of the Rick Dias. For close combat the suit featured a beam naginata. The prototype of the Dijeh was assigned to One Year War hero and Karaba ace pilot Amuro Ray who used his suit during the Gryps Conflict.

A variant known as SE-DJ-1R Dijeh SE-R also exist. A highly powerful variant with massively increased performance. This rarely seen powerful mobile suit is featured as a secret unit in several games of the Super Robot Wars series.
