Information: The Ball is mainly used for maintenance work. It's not sent
into battle hardly at all, but it still is equipped with a nice
cannon to defend itself. The Ball is very easily destroyed
since it's not mainly used in combat. Around
1200 were used in Operation Star One. Its armor material is
not confirmed, but since so many were made and they are easily
destroyed, Titanium seems like a cheap and effective way to go.
History: The Ball is a desperation weapon. The EFF fielded it to help compensate for there small numbers of GMs. It is a refit of the SP-W03 civilian construction pods. The Ball stays in the rear protecting EFF Salamis cruisers and Magellan battleships.
Weapon Information: The Ball is armed with a single 180mm cannon. The reproduction model of the RB-79K Ball has a pair of cannons. The cannons seem to be able to damage Zeon mobile suits, but with little efficiency.
