The Zeons were the first to introduce the concept of mobile suits.  Though the Earth Federation quickly followed, their suits were no match for the suits produced by the Zeons and the Zeon pilots.  Eventually, the Zeons couldn't keep up the flow of supplies to their armies, and they fell.  Zeon mobile suits are very diverse, and are designed for different reasons, like space superiority, or land combat superiority.  Some are even designed to be amphibious!

Zaku I
This will be remembered as the first combat-ready mobile suit in the history of warfare.  Though retired from frontline service with the advent of the newer and more versatile Zaku II, the original remains in service with rear, and support units.
