Notes:
• Following the apocalyptic end of the Great War, the Jovian Alliance found itself lacking in military strength. It would take several years before they would be able to build themselves up to a decent fighting level. This next generation mobile suit is another step forward in the Jovian's MS technology, replacing aging models like the RMS-006 Jenice. Aside from being highly maneuverable, the Crouda's armor is powerful enough to withstand a direct shot from a beam weapon. The Crouda carries a fairly standard armament consisting of vulcan guns and beam rifles, but its main innovation is it's beam cutter. Mounted on the back, this knife-like cutting weapon can cut mobile suits in half or slice into the hull of a battleship.
