Techical and Historical Notes:
-In L.C. 213, an arms race between rival mobile suit companies was started. The goal was to create a successor to the outdated Nimbus series, worthy of serving as ESC's new main frontline unit. Although these companies were all under ESC's control, ESC encouraged healthy competition between them, so that many prototypes can be deployed, tested and assessed.

One of these promising prototypes is the YHC-21MS "Ah-Skal" , produced by the Younghusband Company. The Ah-Skal specialises in urban warfare, and guerilla tactics. Its slim, lanky frame allows it to move easily through city environments, while its light weight enables it to climb buildings and cover enormous areas in a single bound. It is armed with a standard beam saber and sub-machine gun, but can also be fitted with a gigantic, wrecking ball that can disable even the thickest-armored mobile suits in single blow. While not capable of atmospheric flight, the Ah-Skal performs well in zero-gravity environments, thanks to its numerous AMBAC thrusters positioned at key points in its body When coursing through uneven terrain, the Ah-Skal can use its long arms to run in a wolf-like fashion. With agility and versatility as its main assets, the Ah-Skal is poised to take over as the new mainstay mobile suit of the ESC.
