Gundam’s Forgotten Commander: Conscon’s Rise and Fall

The Commander of Zeon’s Mobile Task Force: Conscon

Who is Conscon?

Conscon is a pivotal character in the Mobile Suit Gundam series, serving as the commander of a Principality of Zeon mobile task force. This elite unit consists of a Chivvay-class heavy cruiser and several Musai-class light cruisers, operating under the direct command of Dozle Zabi.

A Mission to Humiliate Char Aznable

Conscon’s primary objective is to ambush the White Base, a strategic move designed to embarrass Char Aznable and Dozle’s sister, Kycilia. However, Conscon’s arrogance gets the better of him, and he underestimates the capabilities of the White Base. During a battle outside of Side 6, the White Base destroys 12 MS-09R Rick Doms, leaving Conscon’s forces severely weakened.

A Desperate Last Stand

When the White Base prepares to leave Side 6, Conscon launches a final, desperate attack. Despite his efforts, his mobile suits are quickly defeated, and he resorts to a kamikaze attack, attempting to ram his Chivvay into the White Base. Unfortunately, Amuro Ray intervenes, using the Gundam’s beam sabers to destroy the Chivvay and kill Conscon.
