Zeon debuted in 3268 under the name of "Republic of Zeon" with a Gold on Clan Wars IV, Division 6, and fought their last battle in 3323, acquiring bronze on Division One, after have to fight against the two titans of the moment: Juggernaut and Leviathan.
During fifty five years, Zeon happened to be one of the few chosen units that achieved a name to be written among the legendary units of all times, achieving a really long amount of Gold Medals through all their participation on the Mecha Games and Tournaments.
One of the older and more successful of the mercenary clans, Zeon was called to the glory early, as massed a force of the first elite pilots at the time of the Mecha Games and Tournaments inception in the galaxy, to ensure all the Mercenary Clans were controlled and channelled to fight the truth menaces of the galaxy.
Colony Drop
Zeon was well known for their legendary and effective obliterating tactic: The Colony Drop, where literally they dropped their overwhelming and formidable squads among a rain of protective fire and chaff all around the descending Mech-pods. This descent could then serve both, to release and display the force in the desired destination and to bombardment the enemy forces as a first strike before the proper Mech assault, once deployed their own forces in the most convenient location to defeat them from above.
