While mobility in close range Mobile Suit combat was not really an issue, the Earth Union began producing the MSP-FL2 Base Jabber. This support machine is used as both a way to deliver Mobile Suits to a combat zone with less fuel consumption and as a small space fighter. Compared to the Martian Alliances use of the Mobius as a Support Fight, the Base Jabber is lighter in terms of weight and armor but makes up for that by being somewhat faster and more agile. As the war began, the EUSF would even begin deploying a more space friendly version called the FL2-C or Base Jabber Type C in which instead of mounting weapons, deploys a Support booster for long range sorties. The primary version of the Base Jabber does mount weapons though from a 25mm Machine Gun for standard use or a 6-Tube Missile Pod for fighting heavy armor. In February of EC 041 the Gundams would be able to deploy with a special version that mounts a Beam Gun for support but while it is powerful, the weapon has shorter range due to nature of the EUSF's weapons development.
