About the RGM-89DEW EWAC Jegan
The RGM-89DEW EWAC Jegan is an equipment variant of the RGM-89D Jegan D Type mass-production Mobile Suit, specialized for early warning and control (EWAC) missions. Its primary function on the battlefield is to act as the "eyes" of the fleet, using its advanced sensor suite to gather and transmit crucial tactical information in real-time. To fulfill this mission, it is equipped with a large main sensor unit on its head, a sensor unit on the left forearm that integrates a laser communication device, and a large camera on the right forearm. Due to its focus on reconnaissance, its armament is minimal and designed for self-defense. A key feature is its extremely low heat signature, which grants it stealth capabilities by making it difficult for enemy thermal sensors to detect.
