The Stark Jegan is a Mobile Suit based on the Earth Federation Forces’ main Mobile Suit, the Jegan D with added equipment in order to enhance its capabilities.

Following the Second Neo Zeon war, the Federation Military faced a shrinking of their military expenditures, and without a large budget to develop new Mobile Suits, a plan was devised to change the specifications of the extremely flexible Jegan using optional added parts in order to improve the combat strength of the EFSF’s MS Corps.   Out of this plan several new Jegan variants were created, and the Stark Jegan was among them.    

Conceptually similar to the plan which improved the GM II’s mobility and effectiveness into the GM III, the One Year War’s Sniper Type derived from the GM, and can be seen as originating with the Gundam Improvement Project’s FSWS plan.  In many ways, this can be looked upon as a very traditional way for the Federation Forces to improve the capabilities of their Mobile Suits, extended to the Jegan.

Utilizing the mount latches built into the Jegan D Type, triple missile pods were mounted to each shoulder for long range fire support, with additional armor panels added on the chest, waist, and legs.  These armor parts may also be jettisoned in mid-combat if they become unnecessary, and since the balance of the Mobile Suit will be changed, the thruster output of the added thrusters will automatically be adjusted to compensate.
