The MS-09R Rick Dom is a mass production space combat mobile suit and a variant of the MS-09 Dom. It was introduced in the TV anime Mobile Suit Gundam.
Proposed by Zimmad as one of the competing designs for Zeon's next generation space-use mobile suit in the middle stage of the One Year War, the MS-09R was a variant of the ground-use MS-09 Dom. The MS-09 was chosen as the developmental base due to its good basic design. Its block structure was a major factor that enabled its specifications to be easily changed without modifications to its basic frame.
In September, U.C. 0079, Zeon began planning the development of its next generation space combat mobile suit. Four designs were submitted: the MS-06R-2 Zaku II High Mobility Type, the MS-09R Rick Dom, the MS-15 Gyan and the MS-11 Gelgoog. It is said that the military favored the Gelgoog from the start, while the other choices were nothing but fillers.
