Technical and Historical Notes
The RGM-89De Jegan [ECOAS Type] is a special version of the RGM-89D Jegan used by the Earth Federation's special task group ECOAS. Due to the decline of large-scale conflicts in the U.C. 90s, the Earth Federation withholds investing in the development of new MS models, and instead goes forward with a program to upgrade the existing force of RGM-89 Jegans. The Jegan was chosen because it's design was modularity constructed, so that the machine's components were upgradeable over time.

Its designed for situations where ECOAS missions are expected to involve direct combat with mobile suits. It has additional sensors and extra chest armor for increased survivability. The ECOAS Type features the same armaments of the normal Jegan, consisting of a beam saber, a rechargeable energy cap using beam rifle, a three slot hand grenade rack, and a new model of shield that has two two-tube missile launchers built in. The Jegan could also be outfitted with an improved bazooka style weapon for increased firepower. Additional armor components were also added. As ECOAS is used as special task force, The RGM-89De Jegan (ECOAS Type) is more likely to hide itself from sensor and radar instead of using Minovsky Particle to jam them. To fulfill that purpose, the RGM-89De Jegan (ECOAS Type) uses stealth painting on its body.
