YMS-09 Prototype Dom
The prototype of the MS-09 Dom that was mass produced by the Principality of Zeon originally for their invasion of Earth, but in Coreline the YMS-09 is a cheaper version of the MS-09 Dom. Designed as a high-performance ground combat unit, with higher speed than other previous units built by Zeon, by adding a series of high-powered thermonuclear jet engines in the legs and waist skirt armour, allowing the YMS-09 to hover along the ground at up to 150 mph and making it extremely maneuverable, and for limited time, can achieve flight, but not as maneuverable as other flying mechs.
The Dom looks similar to the Zaku, except the head design is more of a hood with a large sensor eye in the middle, still retaining the hose structures leading to the chin. The shins and feet are much larger, containing the powerful thrusters that allow it to hover and move about quickly.

MS-09 DOM
After the successful testing of the YMS-09 prototype, the full production Dom is similar to the prototype in looks except the removal of the hose structures pioneered in the Zakus, the head is slightly redesigned so the hood-like design is more of a cross, extra armour around the shoulders, forearms and around the waist to better protect and vector the thrusters in the waist skirt. The full production version is also faster, and comes with several built in weapons, making it one of Zeon's premier ground unit. Several variants were produced, including a space variant.

Heat Saber (PL5/6)
The heat saber is a sword weapon that can have its cutting surface superheated to allow it to cut through armour of mechs and ships. This weapon has become the standard melee weapon on Zeon mechs for many years. The heat hawk deals half slashing and half heat (fire) damage based on the size of the mech wielding it: Large 2d10, Huge 3d10, Gargantuan 4d10, Colossal 5d10. The heat saber also ignores 5 points of hardness/DR, critical 19-20x2.

Diffused Beam Cannon
A weaker and cheaper version of the beam spray gun used by the RGM-79, with lower damage and shorter range, but has higher ammunition capacity before needing to cool and recharge from the mech's power systems, and also has the ability to scale damage down to nothing and act as a nonlethal weapon blinding vision. Deals 5d10 points of energy damage, with a critical x3 damage, can only fire 30 times before requiring a recharge. On nonlethal setting, a free action to switch, can affect all in a 100 foot long cone, requiring all to make a Reflex save 17 or be blinded for 1d6+4 rounds. Normal anti-daze/bright light systems do not add their bonus as this is a multi-spectrum effect (affects visual, IR, heat, UV.

Statistically it is identical, except it has Box Ammunition with 200 rounds, and is handheld, and stored in a holster on the shoulder or leg. An equipment slot dedicated to ammunition (usually belt, legs, shoulder, arm or torso) can hold two clips for a total of 400 rounds. This allows a user with the Quick Reload feat to reload the modified M-9 as a free action. Deals 5d6 damage

Optional Weapons
The MS-09 Dom can make use of most Principality of Zeon mech weapons produced for other mechs, as long as they do not require a dedicated power source, such as beam weapons, unless they have independent power packs. Such weapons include knuckle shield, grenades, the shotgun used by the MS-18E Kampfer, etc.
280mm Bazooka
This is a single shot heavy missile weapon that can be used by most Zakus and other mechs produced by the Principality of Zeon. Although other users have adapted it for use by other mechs. Designed like a very large RPG-7, a large tube launcher that must be reloaded after each attack. Deals 10d8 points of fire damage to a 30 foot radius burst, and ignores 15 points of hardness/DR on the initial target hit. The bazooka itself only holds one round, and each equipment slot dedicated to ammunition holds 4 missiles. Takes a standard action to load the bazooka, which provokes an attack of opportunity. The Bazooka is inaccurate and suffers a further -2 to attack. It can be fired one handed, but suffers a further -2 to attack.
